How to manually remove restore points from a VMware Replica

Remove old restore points (Manually enforcing retention)

1. Manage snapshots for the Replica

2. Select the oldest snapshot and delete it.
   
   Repeat this step as needed, always removing the oldest snapshot until you have the number of restore points desired.
   
   Warning: Never remove the last two snapshots above the “You are here”. Doing so resets the replica and forces it to perform “Calculating digests” for each hard disk, which is a lengthy process.

3. Within Veeam Backup & Replication, right-click Replicas, and select “Rescan replicas.”

Remove recent restore points

1. Manage snapshots for the Replica

2. Select the snapshot prior to those you’d like to remove, then click “Revert to.”
   

Example: Removing all restore points created after 10:15^th.

3. After the revert completes, and the “You are here” moves to below the selected snapshot, select each of the restore points below the “You are here” and delete all of them.

4. Within Veeam Backup & Replication, right-click Replicas, and select “Rescan replicas.”
