Deleting backups - FSx for OpenZFS

Deleting a backup is a permanent, unrecoverable action. Any data in a deleted backup is also deleted. Do not delete a backup unless you're sure you won't need that backup again in the future.

To delete a backup
  1. Open the Amazon FSx console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/.

  2. From the console dashboard, choose Backups from the left side navigation.

  3. From the Backups table, choose the backup that you want to delete.

  4. For Actions, choose Delete backup.

  5. In the Delete backups dialog box that opens, confirm that the ID of the backup identifies the backup that you want to delete.

  6. Confirm that the check box is checked for the backup that you want to delete.

  7. Choose Delete backups.

Your backup and all included data are now permanently and irrecoverably deleted.
