Erase Cloud-Based Device

Use this option to erase one cloud-based device at a time. Arcserve Backup also erases all references to the contents of this cloud-based device (if any) from the database. When you reformat this cloud-based device, its physical history (read and write passes) is retained.

Verify that you have selected the correct cloud-based device before using the Erase option. Erased data cannot be retrieved. When erasing cloud-based devices, you can choose from the following options:
