Hi there,
In the Administer Backup Files window of backup pro there are options to 'delete' or 'delete files'. What is the difference? Basic question, but good to be sure of the answer..
Thanx

The "delete files" option deletes the actual backup file, but leaves the record of the backup file intact. The status would then be "obsolete". The "delete" option will delete the file, if present, but it also deletes the database record so no information about that backup exists in the system.
