Deleting registrations

You can unregister backup storage from your Acronis backup software by deleting its registrations. When you delete a registration, backup data remains in backup storage. You can delete your backup data in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. If you want to delete the backup data in Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure, destroy the backup storage cluster.

Prerequisites

The backup storage cluster is created and registered in the Cloud Management Panel, as described in Provisioning Acronis Backup Storage space.

To delete a backup storage registration

Admin panel

On the Storage services > Backup storage screen, go to the Registrations tab.
Select a backup storage registration, and then click Delete.
In the Delete registration window:
- To delete the registration and unregister the backup storage from your Acronis backup software, select (Recommended) Gracefully, and then specify the credentials of your administrator account in your backup software.
- To delete the registration but do not unregister the backup storage from your Acronis backup software, select Forcibly, and then enter Delete in the input field.
  
  Select this option only if you are sure that the backup storage is already unregistered from your Acronis backup software.
Click Delete.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra service backup registration delete [--username <username>] [--stdin] [--force]
                                          <registration>

--username <username>: Partner account in the cloud or of an organization administrator on the local management server.
--stdin: Use for setting registration password from stdin.
--force: Forcibly delete the registration but do not unregister the backup storage from your Acronis backup software.

Choose this option only if you are sure that the cluster has already been unregistered from your backup software.
<registration>: Registration ID or name

For example, to delete the backup storage registration registration2, run:

# vinfra service backup registration delete --username account@example.com --stdin registration2

Specify the registration password when prompted.
