Sql log and diff file clean up

Jay 2017-09-01 23:00:41 UTC #1

I just upgraded from v9 to v11. In to old version you could set the destination to delete older log & diff files after a successful diff or full backup. I can't find where to set that in V11. I found the place to say "after so many days" but I would like it to clean-up as it goes.

Hello Jay,

You can set "Auto delete" option at your backup destination settings.

my auto delete is not working.
i have setup like 6 days, but i see older files... could be any error?

Could you please clarify were these old backup files were created via SQLBackupAndFTP version 11 or via previous versions?

Hello,

We have just released SQLBackupAndFTP version 11.2.0, could you please install it and check if it solves the issue?

Same issue auto delete does not work.

Alexander, I also have this problem. I installed 11.2.0 a couple of weeks ago (new install) and it works fine but never deletes any old files.

I believe I have the folder configured correctly Folder configuration.

My expectation is that older logs go away after successful diff backup and everything older than the current successful full backup goes away. This is how it worked in v9.

Auto delete is set to 0 months 0 days. you need to set it to auto delete after it has a specif number of months/days.
Auto delete does work locally but not on FTP.

Hi,

Currently, we are working to redesign "Auto delete" option, so this issue will be fixed in the next release.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
