Yet Another "Why Do I have so many restore points" Question

[rdorman]

I really REALLY though I understood this at this point.

I have a job, incremental, synthetic fulls weekly and transform to rollbacks. The policy is set to keep 14 restore points.

If you see the screenshot I clearly have 15 restore points that are covered by 2 fulls in the chain. Why is it keeping the increments and fulls from the previous full chain? I thought as long as I had a full + increment chain that covered my retention requirement, old VM's points would be deleted

Hi Ryan, yes, they should be deleted. I can see that the "tail" is more than a month old, so looks like it is not considered a part of the chain, for some reason. Do you recall any actions you've probably made to this job recently (like backup mode switching or something)? I suggest letting support to take a closer look at your setup.

Thanks, I'll do that and post a case ID.

Case ID 01980282. We're currently trading screenshots and logs, but it would seem I'm not completely crazy. About this.

Well "something" made the backup chain in B&R not delete the old files, never really found out why. I was advised to manually delete them and then "forget" the files in the Disk Backups properties.
