Purge unused Backup Selection sets

kdaquin
over 7 years ago

We've been using NetVault for over 14 years and now have over 200 unused Backup Selection sets (due to server churn).  I would like to delete them via the command line.  I can get easily get a listing of Backup Selection sets that are in use ( nvjoblist.exe -delimiter "|" > output.txt ).  I'd like to compare this to a list of all Backup Selection sets.  I could then delete the differences with nvsetdelete.exe.

How do I list all Backup Selection sets?

    I'm running NV 11.3. Your answer works for my system, and is probably the safest path.

    I was able to get a list of all "Backup Selection" sets, but it's not an easy road.

    Click on "Create Backup Job"

    Right-click anywhere in the web page and select "Save Page As"

    ...choose "Web Page, complete" for the format.

    ...open the saved file with a text editor. You'll see all of the "Backup Selection" sets, buried in the hypertext. Two or three kludges later, you could have a plain text list of all "Backup Selection" sets.
