Delete

By using "Delete" backups can be removed. Two kinds of deleting are distinguished:

| Delete managment data only
| Delete data physical

By deleting the managment data of a one or more backups only, the entries of the restore file selection area are removed. The real backup data allready exists, only the reference to the data is removed. By using "Insert" it is possible to recreate (creates the entries for the restore file selection) the management data.
Deleting the physical backup means that all data is removed (the management data and the real backup data)! A physically removed backup can't be reactivated, all data is really gone! To delete one or more backups, select the backup(s) in the file selection area. A click on "Delete" opens a confirmation window. Every backup that was selected to delete is listed in the window by title and start date. below the list is the checkbox "Delete Backup Data". Here the kind of deletion can be seleced. If the checkbox is activated, the management data and backup data are removed (physically removed). If the checkbox is deactivated (default), only the management data would be removed.
It's possible to change the selection if the confirmation window is open. If the selection in the file selection area is changed, SIEGFRIED BACKUP refreshes the confirmation window immediately. After all selections are returned, the window closes automaticaly.
The usage of "OK" removes the listed backups. "Cancel" closes the window without removing any backups. The same results when the user closes the window by using the close button or the <ESC> key.
