NetApp Backup and Recovery enables you to unprotect and delete your Kubernetes applications and associated resources.

Required NetApp Console role

Organization admin or SnapCenter admin. Learn about NetApp Backup and Recovery access roles. Learn about NetApp Console access roles for all services.

Unprotect a Kubernetes application

You can unprotect an application if you no longer want to protect it. When you unprotect an application, NetApp Backup and Recovery stops protecting the application but keeps all associated backups and snapshots.

Note You cannot unprotect an application while protection operations are still running for it. Either wait for the operation to finish, or as a workaround, remove the restore point the running protection operation is using. You can then unprotect the application.
Steps

  1. In NetApp Backup and Recovery, select Inventory.

  2. Choose a Kubernetes instance, and select View to view the resources associated with that instance.

  3. Select the Applications tab.

  4. In the list of applications, choose an application you want to unprotect and select the associated Actions menu.

  5. Select Unprotect.

  6. Read the notice, and when ready, select Unprotect.

Delete a Kubernetes application

Delete an application you no longer need. NetApp Backup and Recovery stops protection and removes all backups and snapshots for deleted applications.

Steps

  1. In NetApp Backup and Recovery, select Inventory.

  2. Choose a Kubernetes instance, and select View to view the resources associated with that instance.

  3. Select the Applications tab.

  4. In the list of applications, choose an application you want to delete and select the associated Actions menu.

  5. Select Delete.

  6. Enable Delete snapshots and backups to remove all snapshots and backups of the application.

    Caution You will no longer be able to restore the application using these snapshots and backups.

  7. Confirm the action and select Delete.

Remove a restore point for a Kubernetes application

You might need to remove a restore point for an application if you need to unprotect it and protection operations are currently running.

Steps

  1. In the NetApp Backup and Recovery menu, select Restore.

  2. Choose a Kubernetes application from the list, and select View and Restore for that application.
