    Cancel all your running duplication jobs, inactive the lifecycle the just run the delete option If I remember correctly if you don't specify an image id it will cancel them all Bear in mind the images will just get left on disk until they expire so you will have to decide what to do with themhope this helps

    nbstlutil cancel –backupid xxxxxx

    Please note - no further SLP processing will be done for this backupid. If you want to pause the processing of this single backupid use:

    nbstlutil inactive -backupid xxxxxxx

    I really recommend "Best practices for configuring NetBackup with Storage Lifecycle Policies" , there is some very good picees of information in it.

    Best to cancel all jobs and then before they kick in again run Nbstlutil inactive -lifecycle lifecyclename This stops all images from duplicating but backups to it will be fine Once you have done your work fire it back up with the active switch

    Thanks but I don't want to temporarily deactivate them.  I want to permanently delete the queued and active duplication jobs.   I have tried to cancel them w/ nbstlutil by job id, as well as by lifecycle name, but I'm getting an error "Operation not successful: unable to process request
