Hi Rolf, So if I understand correctly, there is no "standard" procedure or any documentation how to properly remove a client once it is not needed anymore (e.g. when decomissioning a server)?
If not I would be interested to see your SQL query which you use for that purpose. Indeed I use the "use volume once = true" parameter so that each volume contains only one single backup from a client. Best regards, J.
