Maintaining Backups

A complete list of backups on a location can be displayed using backup list <location>.

Backups can be deleted using the following commands:

  • backup clean <location> keep <N> will delete older copies so that only N copies are kept. Note: <N> must be larger than 0.

  • backup clean <location> before <yyyy-mm-dd [HH:MM]> will delete copies older than the specified date.

By default, there is no regular maintenance of backups, and a scheduled job should be created to perform this maintenance, for example:

  • schedule add backuprotate backup clean localbackup keep 5

  • schedule time backuprotate 3 0

  • schedule enable backuprotate
