Backup file rotation

[joelyuk]

Hi all,

I've noticed on my server that I've run out of disk space due to the backup scripts seemingly not rotating/removing previous backups.

I currently have 28 days worth of backups for every client on the server, and I can't work out where/what limits are set to rotate them - I can see the rotation section in the v-backup-user shell script, but can't for the life of me figure out what controls this to remove them.

I also see a bunch of settings relating to backup in the func/main.sh shell script, but can't see how these tie into the v-backup-user one?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks all

Hi,
you can specify the number of backups in the packages
when this limit is reached old archives will be overwritten by the new archives
