Usage notes

중요

If the backup policy has a retention lock applied to it, and there are any unexpired backups in the backup set, then you can’t delete the backup set. In that case, you must wait for all the backups in the set to expire. This restriction applies even to privileged roles such as ACCOUNTADMIN, and to Snowflake support. For that reason, be careful when specifying retention lock and a long expiration period in a backup policy.

You also can’t drop a backup set if any of the backups it contains have a legal hold applied.

Examples

Delete the backup set t1_backups:

DROP BACKUP SET t1_backups;
Copy
