You can delete and format archive volumes.

To delete and format volumes of an object archive, use gRPC API (see Remove archive using gRPC API methods).

To format the archive volume, do as follows:

  1. Click the  button.
  2. Select Format volume.

  3. Click Apply. A dialog box is displayed, warning about formatting of the selected volumes.
  4. Select the checkbox and click Format.

The volume formatting is complete.

To remove a volume, do as follows:

  1. Click the  button.
  2. Select Remove volume.

    If there is only one volume in the archive, you cannot delete it.


  3. Click Apply.
  4. If necessary, you can remove archive files.

    If you delete the archive files, then all the video footage that they contained will be lost.

    If you do not delete archive files, you can re-use them to create another archive (see Creating an archive based on existing archive volumes). You can as well use a partition to re-create an archive.
