Backup file rotation
Backup file rotation
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

Re: Backup file rotation
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
