Delete restore point

Post by tim@wrightsweb.com »

Restore points auto delete is very confusing. I have mine set to backup to a USB Drive with 1 restore point as retention or tried 1 day retention and cant get it to delete before next backup. I only have room for 1 total restore point so it must delete before the backup starts. How do I accomplish this?? Please tell me what my settings need to be. It is a very simple backup on a usb drive that gets swapped out each week.

Tim,

Can you clarify which product you are talking about as there is no USB option within Veeam Backup for AWS?

Hey @tim@wrightsweb.com,

You've got a few drives you're rotating? Try the registry value here: https://www.veeam.com/kb1154

On each rotation, it will auto-delete the existing backups.
