How to delete old backups

Post by rogernet »

How do I delete old backups leaving only the last one? I have almost 10GB of backup and would like to delete the old ones. I already looked in the local repository folder but I didn't find the files with the sizes referring to what is shown in the panel.

Obs. I use the local repository.

Please stop sending such things (1st comment) without any context! This is like changing the system PHP version of KeyHelp and later ask "Why does my KeyHelp not work". I mean, if someone would like to break the system in the long run, sure go for things like that...

Do you want to reduce the snapshot count (and therefor the size) of a backup?
-> Go to Backup -> Repository management -> select the repository you like -> and set the max snapshot counter to a value you like.

Shortly, a new backup maintenance job will start and delete the old snapshots.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
