JetBackup Community Forums

Hi,
I would like to ask how to perform a reindex at the previous backups.
In jetbackup 5 I see some backups since April that are not valid but still can't delete them. I waited to be deleted automatically but it seems they didn't. The " jetbackup -vfR reindex" command does not seems to work on Jetbackup 5.
Any help?

Hello staboul,

Thank you for reaching out through our forums. The command `jetbackup -vfR reindex` was a JetBackup 4 CLI command that no longer exists on JetBackup 5. For JetBackup 5 we now have the API that is able to reindex single destinations at a time or you can now queue a reindex via the GUI.

To run a reindex through the GUI simply navigate to JetBackup 5 -> Destinations -> Select the Destination -> Select the option "Reindex Destination". This will queue a reindex for that destination and run automatically. For more information please visit: https://docs.jetbackup.com/v5.1/adminpa ... n-settings

If you would like to queue a reindex through the terminal, you can do so by using our API command:
You can find more information about this command and where to find the Destination ID in our docs here: https://docs.jetbackup.com/v5.1/api/Des ... tions.html
