VEEAM not deleting restore points

[CLagarde]

When I select the option "On these days" select let's say sunday and ask to keep backups for the last 30 days, VEEAM won't delete oldest backups. Is there a way other that selecting everyday or on weekdays to make this work?

Product : VEEAM for Windows 2.0 FREE edition.

Hi,

Merge is performed by backup jobs. If you have more than 30 days of backup – start a backup job and it will merge the oldest restore points into the full backup.

That's not my issue. What I want to know is that if I choose to do backups on sundays only (choosing the option "On these days" and I want to keep 4 restore points, then I will ask to keep backups for more than 28 days. The issue is that if I do so, it won't delete restore points and keep on going as long as I manually delete them or the disk is full...

From what I can see, this option (doing the equivalent of weekly backups) and manage restore points is only available with the server version.

Can someone confirm this point?

try to set the retention to 4 days instead: VAW counts only the days when backup was created. 4 days of backups as retention and weekly backup (without any backup events checked) should work.
