Pick

The pick option creates a list of backup versions or archive copies that match the file specification you enter.

From the list, you can select the versions to process. Include the inactive option to view both active and inactive objects.

In this case, the images selected from the pick list are restored to their original location. If you specify the source file space and the destination file space, you can select only one entry from the pick list.

Use the pick option with the following commands:

  • delete archive
  • delete backup
  • delete group
  • expire
