    Can I have a retention rule that alpows me to keep say 7 backups on the loacal server and 90 on the remote? Disk space is at a premium on the website server but I have oodles of space on the sftp server.

    Hi Paul,

    There is an option under each remote storage where it says “Send scheduled backups to this destination”. Please refer to screenshot – https://share.getcloudapp.com/rRubjvEG

    Thanks,

    Yep, saw that, and set that. But if I say “retain this many scheduled backups – 14 ” will that remove remote copies that are > 14 days. as well as local copies?

    Hi Paul,

    The retention rule will delete copies form both remote and local copies.

    What is the “Add an additional retention rule…” option?

    Thanks,

    Hi Bryle

    Thanks. So I can create additional rules to cut down the number of retentions by deleting everything older than x on a different cycle, but that will always be synchronous between local and remote

    May I put ansynchronous rules forward as a feature request? My use case is that local storage is severely limited. I want to keep a few backups there so I can rowback easily but I want to keep a fuller history on my remote storage which has masses of free space

    Hi Paul,

    Did you get any error message when saving? If it still doesn’t work, I will just forward your request to our team.
    There is no guarantee it will be implemented as we already have a roadmap of priorities.

    Thanks,
    Bryle

    Hi Bryle. The error message is in my previous reply “Something went wrong while trying to save your idea” – a bit too generic to be helpful I’m afraid. I WAS logged in.
