Delete a specific object from a backup.
AI agents call DeleteBackupObject to permanently remove resources in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes backup data, which cannot be undone. In a Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure context, deleting backup objects destroys recovery points and data integrity. An AI agent misusing this could permanently lose critical backups, preventing recovery of systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'DeleteBackupObject' and description 'Delete a specific object from a backup' explicitly indicate irreversible deletion of backup data.
