I changed a backup job from incremental to compressed. I'd like to delete the incremental backup which is in a different folder. Can I do that in JetBackup? Or can I just delete the files in S3 and the backup will also disappear in JetBackup?
thanks.

Re: Deleting old backups after switching backup type
Hi edgecity,
We generally recommend to let your Backup Job run through the number of retention you have
set to naturally build up a new set of compressed backups and automatically flush out/delete your old incremental backups. With that said, you can delete your incremental backups manually in your destination then run jetcli backup -vfR reindex to sync JetBackup to changes made on your destination.
