Deleting Kyvos upgrade and patch bundles 

From Kyvos 2023.3 onwards, during Kyvos upgrade and patch processes, the oldest backup bundle will be deleted automatically to retain the newest bundles within the specified limit. Suppose you choose to preserve 6 bundles out of 10 available. In this case, only the 6 most recent bundles will be saved, and the remaining 4 bundles will be deleted. The oldest of these 4 bundles, based on the date they were created, will be deleted first.

To delete a previous state of rollback, use the Manage Backup Bundles option from the three-dots menu.

In the Preserve Backup Bundles list, set the count to retain the bundles. 

Points to know

  • If the number of bundles present exceeds the preserved count, the remaining bundle will be automatically selected, indicating that it will be deleted.

  • If the number of bundles equals the retention count, no bundles will be deleted.

  • Bundles can only be deleted by changing the preserve count. Selecting them for deletion is disabled and unsupported. 

  • If the latest backup bundle is a Patch, then the most recent Kyvos bundle will also be preserved.

  • The backup bundles which are created for failed Kyvos upgrade or failed Patch operations will also be there in the list to delete.
