Delete a Snapshot
On this page
Cloud Manager will no longer support Automation, Backup, and Monitoring for MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 after August 30th, 2024. Please upgrade your MongoDB deployment or migrate to Atlas.
To delete snapshots for replica sets and sharded clusters, use the Cloud Manager console to find then select a backup snapshot to delete.
Important
Affects next backup and point-in-time restores
The next backup job runs as a full backup rather than an incremental backup.
Point-in-time restores apply oplog entries to the last snapshot taken before the specified point. Deleting a snapshot removes the base snapshot for a PIT restore.
