Hello
our NAS had a problem and the content was wipe out. So I need to start over with the first full backup.
What should be the correct actions to be done?
I did a new full backup with success but the Veeam database still show old entries (and I understand that)
need you advise
thanks

Yes starting with a new full backup is the best action to start over. If there are older backups showing you don't want to see you can remove them from the console so only the full new backup shows.
You can use this method and Veeam will remove them from disk - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/delete_backup_from_disk.html?ver=120
If not use the remove from configuration which removes them from the DB.

You can follow the steps to remove old backups from the configuration database.

Are those restore points marked as missing or unavailable under Home > Disk > Backups? If so, you can tell Veeam to forget those:

If not, try to rescan your backup repository while your job is disabled and then check again.

Exactly my point as well. I have done this as well many times.

I’d suggest doing a rescan of the repo to ensure all missing restore points are identified and then remove the missing ones per
Likewise the remove from configuration setting whilst it won’t delete the backup data from the backup repository, will remove all backup job chain information from the database, including your new chain. This is fixable by rescanning your backup repository and then mapping the backup job to the existing backup chain. So the way that the least can go wrong is with Regnor’s advice 🙂
