Unlinking a VM or Yandex BareMetal server from a backup policy

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View the description of the CLI command to remove a VM or BareMetal server from a backup policy:

   yc backup policy revoke --help
   

2. Get the ID of the backup policy to unlink the VM or BareMetal server from:

   yc backup policy list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+---------------------+---------------------+
   |          ID          |      FOLDER ID       |  NAME   | ENABLED |     CREATED AT      |     UPDATED AT      |
   +----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+---------------------+---------------------+
   | abc7n3wln123******** | ghi681qpe789******** | policy1 | true    | 2023-07-03 09:12:02 | 2023-07-03 09:12:43 |
   | deflqbiwc456******** | ghi681qpe789******** | policy2 | true    | 2023-07-07 14:58:23 | 2023-07-07 14:58:23 |
   +----------------------+----------------------+---------+---------+---------------------+---------------------+
   

3. Get the ID of the VM to unlink:

   yc compute instance list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+---------+---------------+---------+--------------+-------------+
   |          ID          |  NAME   |    ZONE ID    | STATUS  | EXTERNAL IP  | INTERNAL IP |
   +----------------------+---------+---------------+---------+--------------+-------------+
   | jklp0o9i8012******** | my-vm-1 | ru-central1-b | RUNNING | 51.250.**.** | 192.168.*.* |
   | mnoa5s6d8345******** | my-vm-2 | ru-central1-b | RUNNING | 84.201.**.** | 192.168.*.* |
   +----------------------+---------+---------------+---------+--------------+-------------+
   

   To get the BareMetal server IDs, select BareMetal from the list of services of the relevant folder in the management console. The IDs are specified in the server list in the ID field.

4. Unlink the VM or BareMetal server by specifying the backup policy ID:

   yc backup policy revoke <policy_ID> \
     --instance-ids <VM_or_BareMetal_server_IDs>
   

   Where --instance-ids are the IDs of the VMs or BareMetal servers you need to unlink from the backup policy. Multiple IDs should be comma-separated.

For more information about the command, see the CLI reference.

Use the revoke REST API method for the Policy resource or the PolicyService/Revoke gRPC API call.
