Retention Settings and Automatic Backups

[Malcolm SoanesParticipant]

Hi,

I’ve seen a few posts regarding this but can’t find an answer to my question.

Regarding the automatic backups when updating and retention settings. I use the automatic backup feature before updating as it’s handy however don’t want to end up storing these backups forever and don’t always remember to manually delete them.

I appreciate this can be done with an extra retention setting but I’m not sure how to achieve what I want. I use the primary retention setting to store 2 weeks worth of file and database backups currently. I want to delete automatic backups so I’m guessing if I deleted any which were over 3 weeks old this could be done here somehow? Would I also need to setup two, one for files and one for database?

How would I achieve this, if possible?

Thanks!

Hi,

Automatic backups are not included in the backup retention rule. Those backups need to be manually deleted.
