Hi All,

Not sure where to put this idea/improvement so if it is at the wrong place my appologies.

When I remove a VM and recreate a new VM with another perpose, it got the same ID like 111.
What I see then is that the backup`s that where created are still in place.

Is it possible or already in place and I do not use it, that when you remove a VM that the backup`s are getting removed with it? Yes it can be a problem when you accidently remove the VM but that is where the verification for :).

What do you all think about this?
 
i think this is not really useful and will make more problems than it solves. what about deleting the backups before deleting the vms?
since there is an api/cli tools, you could even script this if you do this often
