Delete a backup

backups & data

// what it does

Removes a manual backup you no longer need — typically the pre-migration safety snapshots after the migration has been verified in production for a while.

// shell

$ pscale backup delete mydb main <backup-id>

// gotcha

Automatic scheduled backups are managed by retention policy; this is for your manual ones. Once deleted, that restore point is gone — verify the migration really is fine first.
