Issue Report: Incorrect Documentation Link in Backup Vault Deletion Dialog
Description
When attempting to delete a Backup Vault in IBM Cloud Object Storage via the console, the confirmation dialog provides a “Learn more” link for further information about the deletion impact (i.e., “All backups in this vault will be deleted”). However, the link currently points to the public access policy documentation, which only explains access and permissions, not the consequences or process of deleting a backup vault.
Current Linked Documentation (Incorrect):
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-iam-public-access
This page focuses on public access policies for buckets and objects, without explaining what happens to backup data when a vault is deleted.
Impact:
- Users are left without a clear understanding of the permanent data loss and operational consequences associated with deleting a Backup Vault.
- Critical details on how Backup Vaults function, and the fact that all backups and recovery ranges will be irreversibly deleted upon deletion, are missing from this reference.
Recommended Documentation Link (Correct)
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-bvm-overview
This page provides a comprehensive explanation of Backup Vaults, backup policies, recovery ranges, and the irreversible nature of vault and backup deletion. It also covers data integrity, restore options, and retention implications.
Suggested Change
Update the “Learn more” link in the Delete Vault dialog to reference the Backup Vault Overview documentation above, so users receive accurate and actionable information about the deletion process and its outcomes.
