'checkpointremoval' folder too big

[AVavav]

Hi,

C:\programdata\veeam\backup\system\checkpointremoval is huge.
Folders date back to 01-01-2025
Can I point it to a new drive or set a task to clear, say the last 6 months?

Hi AVavav,

Those are purely debug logs, so yes you can clean them out as you like.

Thanks, used ascheduled task to delete all .zip.* files older than 90 days

Hi AVavav,
I know you have a scheduled task for this, but I thought worth mentioning I was recently impacted by this also for 2 customers so I have written a PS script that cleans up logs older than 90 days for the 2 below folders. It is designed to be run by itself or by a RMM tool, hoping it helps you or others also.
