You could maybe use the File Copy Job for this.
If you are dumping out the files, you can just make a file copy job from the Folder to your destination.
Then write a script which deletes your files older than "X" days.

Code: Select all

find /your/path/to/your/dumps* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

Then add this to a bash script which can be scheduled via crontab.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
find /your/path/to/your/dumps* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

Would that help ?

Hi Baber,

Have you tried running a separate backup job with active full backups backing up just the folder storing your dumps with an appropriate retention policy configured and on a daily basis that is corresponded with your dump creation schedule?

Also, you might want to take a look at our AAIP feature and replace the dump creation procedure with it if your database is supported (i guess it's Oracle DB, right?).

I may be getting your question wrongly. If so, please share more details and let us know what you'd like to achieve.

Thanks

As suggested, you can use either File Copy job or a regular backup job (just select all week days when enabling Active Fulls). As an alternative, you can also use file-level backup in Veeam Agent for Windows.
