Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Retention rules

Thread needs solution

Hello people,

The retention rules dont work.
I have a "simple" backup scheme. The backup starts every day at 22:00

My retention rules : "Delete backups older than 5 days".
When i take a look at the 6th day. My old backups are not removed.

Who can help me out?

Best regards,

Hello Stefan Goossens,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you.

Can you please specify some details in order to identify the cause for this behavior?

  • Used Acronis Product and build
  • Backup target (internal, external, changeable, NAS, network share, etc.)
  • Screenshot of the other backup plan setting would be nice.

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.
