I have been using Windows Server 2008 R2 backup. I made several backup to a disk. Later I formated this disk and continued to make backups there. Thus, the backups made first turn to be stale, but It remains in the backup history. How can I clear this records in the history?

If I am understanding your question, these are stored in the Application log in Server Manager.

Open Event Logs -> Diagnostics -> Event Viewer -> Applications and Services -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Backup

The logs will need to be deleted from here

  • I only have logs going back to May 2012. But in Server Backup, the system is aware of backups going back to Apr 2010. I don't think the info he is looking for is stored in this log. I think he is looking for a way to clean up stale backup entires in the "Details of backups" option from the GUI.
