Interactive Snapshot Deletion

The Bacula Enterprise Nutanix-AHV Plugin backend comes with an additional feature to manually keep track of snapshots, which is a simple command line tool located in /opt/bacula/bin. To launch the CLI the user just needs to execute the backend script wih an additional delete parameter. The script asks the user for their username and the Nutanix-AHV host. The password will be read from the snapmgr.conf file.

The example below shows a regular execution of the interactive snapshot deletion feature.

root@backupvm:~# /opt/bacula/bin/nutanix_ahv_backend delete
