Re: make it easy to delete entire online backup

OH YESS!!!!! I agree with you 10000% because i use norton 360 too for a while and I thought I could delete it all by going on to the web interface or in the settings, but you can only delete one file at a time? if I want to deletee all the old  data I TOTALLY should be able to. I'm using Carbonite for now. :(

Re: make it easy to delete entire online backup

I need my backup purged. Can you do that for me? I really should be able to do that myself. Lame.

Hi Whiplash/Tyler Durden, Are you all not able to go to Mange Backup Sets page and click on 'Delete this backup set'? Also, keep in mind that you can go to the 'What' tab and exclude specific folders from being backed up. Having said that, I think there should be a way that when you preview your backup set, you would be able to delete at the folder level and will put this up for consideration.

Re: make it easy to delete entire online backup

Better backup set management would be lovely.  Deleting sets through Windows Explorer doesn't work well.  The Explorer window becomes unresponsive for a long time (10 - 15 minutes or more depending on backup set size).  Deleting sets through Nobu isn't possible for N360 users.  Deleting them through the "Delete Backup Sets" link in Manage Backups interface is not intuitive or obvious.

Re: make it easy to delete entire online backup

Well i use Norton.It came with my Laptop so i bet i was so lucky.But my Company uses safecopy backup.SafeCopy is cheaper because they offer a 5GB free unlimited free trial version and the have upgraded their spaces for example from 105GB to 200GB.This is owesome.

There does need to be changes in the backup area so that performance is much improved.
