Removing Backups

    We have been experimenting with backups. I now want to cancel a series of jobs and regain the disk space back. Does cancelling a job also delete the previous backups? If not, how can I get the disk space back (we backup to disk)? Is there documentation on how to manage backups? I didn’t seem to find any outside of how to set them up, not how to actually manage or use.

    Good morning,

    After you cancel your jobs Zerto will go through the repository and clear out any retention sets that have either expired or where the jobs were deleted.  This garbage collection job happens once a day.

    The garbage collection job seems to run daily at 0030, is there a way to manually initiate this manually
