Old backups aren't deleted

[scott9824]

I have a problem with DA - the backup's aren't deleted. The backup drive (500GB) oftens fills up with old backups, which cause them to stop running. Does anyone else have this problem - or know the easiest "fix" ?

Also, any chance of incremental backup yet? daily, weekly and monthly, similar to cPanels?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi,

chatwizard made a script:

That should do what you want. Also I has to change the "+1" just after the -maxdepth to "1" on my Redhat based system.

Thanks,
Grant

Very cool, thanks.

Another note, I had to change "find $backup_directory -mtime +$backup_time -delete" to "find $backup_directory -mtime +$backup_time -exec rm -rf {} \;" on RHEL 4 x86_64.
