Deleting or modifying schedules

You can delete or modify a schedule that you created with the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard by running the wizard again and deleting or editing the schedule on the Snapshot Schedule panel.

You cannot use the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard to delete or modify schedules created from the VEA console.

Note:

You cannot modify a schedule that has expired.

You can also delete (but not modify) a schedule from the VEA console.

Note:

The VEA can delete snapshot schedules only; it does not delete mirror preparation scheduled with the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard. In addition, deleting a snapshot schedule using the VEA does not update template settings created with the Quick Recovery Configuration Wizard.

To delete a schedule from the VEA

  1. From the VEA console, navigate to the system where the production volumes and snapshot mirrors are located.
  2. Right-click the name of the snapshot schedule and select Delete Schedule.
