Number of rollbacks to keep won't delete old backups

Post by matarvai »

Hi, we have problem with few of our backup jobs. When we select number of rollbacks from advanced. It won't delete our old backup files. I have selected 7 rollbacks to keep, and now when I check to backup folder there is 30 files. I have to delete files manually every now and then. What is causing this problem?

Are you by chance using forward incremental backups? If so, have you chosen to create either a synthetic full or a traditional full at some interval? If not, Veeam will never delete any backups since it needs a new full to start a new chain.

Tom, actually UI won't allow saving configuration with both synthetic and active full backups disabled... so most likely there is something else here.
