Delete a Siteworx Backup in Nodeworx
Free up server disk space. Learn how to delete old or unnecessary SiteWorx account backups individually or in bulk using NodeWorx.
Introduction
Over time, old backups can accumulate and take up valuable disk space on your server. To keep your server storage optimized, it is good practice to remove backup files you no longer need. This guide will show you how to delete specific SiteWorx backups, either individually or in bulk, directly from the NodeWorx interface.
Prerequisites
- A server with InterWorx installed, OR
- A Nexcess plan that offers NodeWorx access.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Log in to NodeWorx.
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to SiteWorx > Backup / Restore.
- From the Reseller dropdown menu, select the Reseller that owns the account.
If you are logged in as a NodeWorx Reseller, you will only see the SiteWorx accounts that you own.
- Click the Manage button next to the specific SiteWorx account.
If the button says No Backups instead of Manage, it means there are no backup files available for this account.
- Locate the backup file you want to remove and click the Trashcan icon.
- Click Delete to confirm the action.
Delete Backups in Bulk
- Log in to NodeWorx.
- Navigate to SiteWorx > Backup / Restore.
- Select the Reseller that owns the accounts from the dropdown.
- Click Manage next to the SiteWorx account containing the backups.
- Select the checkbox next to each backup you want to delete.
Selecting the checkbox in the header row (next to the “With Selected” dropdown) will automatically select all backups in the list.
- From the With Selected dropdown menu, choose Delete.
- Click Go.
- Review the list and click Delete to confirm the removal.
