Hi guys!
I have configured "Backup Job" and set "Restore points to keep on disk" = 8.

Re: Veeam Backup & Replication doesn't remove old Points
Hi Max and welcome to the community!
Can you share more details about the backup configuration?
It looks like a normal behavior of the backup job using a Forward Incremental backup method with weekly fulls, retention will be applied when you will have second full backup followed by 7 restore points.
I'd recommend you to set simple retention to 7, this way the job will retain 2 full backup files and 12 incremental (possible maximum until retention applied). Thanks!

That's expected behavior.sandmax wrote:I have 2 full backups now and incremental backups.
Retention will remove the first two files on Saturday (tomorrow), when you will have 8 restore points (full backup + 6 increments + newly created full backup = 8 RPs). Thanks!
