January 1, 2000) by clicking the Purge button from the Database
Backups page and completing the fields.
-
Schedule Console to purge the data now or at a later date.
- Run now: Back up the database immediately.
- Run later: Specify a time in the future or
configure a repeating purge operation.
-
Select time frame of data to purge.
Choose the date by entering a number and selecting day,
week, or month from the
drop-down menu. Make sure the automatically updated date displayed next to the
drop-down menu is the desired day before proceeding.

.
