Is there a way to delete all files that were backed up last night for certain clients
We may have backed up a virus last night. Is there a way to delete just the files that were backed up last night on specific servers? .

One option is to delete the volumes that were used for these backups.

You can define a management class with verexists=1 verdeleted=0 retonly=0, and temporarly point to the no retention class using include-exclude. Run another backup to bind the files, then delete them from the source and run another backup to expire them. (This will also delete your inactive versions, so if you want to replace the files with the last known clean copy, restore them to another location first) On Wednesday, September 19, 2001 5:32 AM, David Browne.

One way might be to get a list of the object_id's with a SQL statement something like : select object_id from backups where node_name='MYNODE' and backup_date > = '2001-09-18 00:00:00.00' or some other selection criteria which may select what you want. Then edit the list to produce a script file that contains a bunch of the undocumented delete_object command : delete_object 0 object_id# Please be careful that you select only the object_ids you really want to delete ...
