SBS 2011 Remove BU disk (and stop SBS BU)
Hi
Due to fact that the "hidden" SBS 2011 BU disk is a VMware virtual store which is now full I must quickly add space to VMware. Therefore I want to to stop SBS 2011 BU and remove the BU-disk from Disk Management completely.
How to do this? Surely I don't just Delete the Volume on Disk Manger. I suppose I must somehow completely stop/remove SBS 2011 BU task.

Hi
Yes, this were about backups.
olafdc answer were focused on my original question (due to my bad English you might have problems to find out what I'm really asking - sorry about that).
Actually I noticed by myself too that the SBS 2011 Console were the place were to delete SBS BU job and after that I deleted the disk from Win Disk management and then deleted it from Virtual Machines Properties.
The main problem is that a VM Datastore were full. I'm still struggling with that.
I can us olafdc's answer in the future with other server's how to make room for BUs.
Thank you all very much.

Hancococka, I'd suggest adding a table of contents to your article, it may be confusing to someone that doesn't know any better and starts with what appears to be step 1 (gparted).
The reasoning behind this is looking at some of RimeFire007's other questions, it appears he's very new to VMware and disk management, I'd hate to see the wrong steps followed. I believe he stated that the main IT person that manages this is on holiday.
Good article though, very thorough. I was looking for something just like this to link the OP to.
