stanza-delete

The stanza-delete command removes data in the repository associated with a stanza.

NOTE:

Use this command with caution — it will permanently remove all backups and archives from the pgBackRest repository for the specified stanza.

To delete a stanza:

Shut down the PostgreSQL cluster associated with the stanza (or use --force to override).
Run the stop command on the repository host.
Run the stanza-delete command on the repository host.

Once the command successfully completes, it is the responsibility of the user to remove the stanza from all pgBackRest configuration files.

--force

Force stanza delete.

If PostgreSQL is still running for the stanza, then this option can be used to force the stanza to be deleted from the repository.

default: n
example: --no-force
