This command lists the backups existing on the Source Server. If you want to list the backups on
the Backup Server, you need to specify the IP address of this server.
The command output shows that currently only two backups exist on the Source Server. These
backups were created for a virtual machine and Container with the ID of c1dee22f-8667-
4870-9e11-278f1398eab0. The information on the backups is presented in the following
table:
Column Name Description
ID
The ID uniquely identifying the virtual machine and Container.
Backup ID
The ID assigned to the backup archive. You need to specify this ID
when performing any backup-related operations.
Node
The hostname of the physical server storing the backup archive.
Date
The date and time when the backup archive was created.
Type
The backup type. Currently, you can create two types of backups:
 A full backup indicated by f.
 An incremental backup indicated by i and containing only the files
changed since the previous full or incremental backup. This is the
default backup type.
Size
The size of the backup archive, in bytes.
Removing a Virtual Machine and Container Backup
At any time, you can remove a backup that you do not need any more using the pctl
backup-delete command. To do this, you need to specify the ID of the backup to remove
and the ID of the respective virtual machine and Container. If you do not know these IDs, use
the pctl backup-list and check the ID and Backup ID columns. For example:
# pctl backup-list
ID Backup_ID
Node Date Type Size

# pctl backup-delete c1dee22f-8667-4870-9e11-278f1398eab0 -t 209d54a0-e3b8-

Delete the VM backup
The VM backup has been successfully removed.
You can also specify the virtual machine and Container name instead of its ID:
# pctl backup-delete MyVM -t 209d54a0-e3b8-4a03-9ca8-d4cc7a2a27ca
If you have several backups of a particular virtual machine and Container and want to delete
them all at once, indicate only the virtual machine and Container name or ID:
# pctl backup-delete MyVM
This command removes all backups of the MyVM virtual machine from the local Backup Server.
To remove backups stored remotely, you also need to specify the IP address of the remote
Server:
# pctl backup-delete MyVM -s root:1qaz2wsx@129.129.10.10
