Delete Restore Points automaticly

Post by Dennis_ITSM »

Hello,

we have in our customer environments following problems:
We store our backups on a primary and secondary NAS system. The servers are backed up every hour on the primary NAS system. To ensure data security of 4 weeks, we have about 190 Restore Points set in VEEAM. If 190 Restore Points have been reached, VEEAM automatically delete older backups on the NAS system, so that only 190 restore points are available.
The servers are also Backed up for example every Friday afternoon via Full Backup on the secondary NAS. The secondary NAS is used for external shipments and the secondary NAS is exchanged every Friday. Problem is that the two secondary NAS systems are constantly runs at 100% because old backups are not deleted automatically. Is there a way within Veeam that automatically on changing secondary NAS, the full backup backups older than 4 weeks are deleted?

Hmm, they should be deleted since they are no longer under retention - may be it is some kind of bug, worth investigating with support!

Dennis, do you enable the "rotated drives" option on the repository backed up by the secondary NAS? What type of repository it is?
