No Cleanup Task, old Backups filling up Disk

Thread needs solution

Hi everyone and thank you in advance for any help!
The problem is since Version 11.5 - the old backups are not deleted by any cleanup-task. The options say that old backups have to be removed after 4 days, there are only full backups. Without any error they are not deleted, filling up the disk and have to be deleted manually. What goes wrong?

If it's a 'simple' backup scheme and manual run of cleanup task from plan's 'run' context menu works, this may be a known bug - retention rules are not set if they are added later by editing the plan without retention rules. Such plan can be 'fixed' by switching the scheme to some other, e.g. GFS, then back and setting retention rules again.

It is exactly the simple backup scheme and the manual run works - I have changed the settings like you suggested, in two days I will know if it worked. I am very optimistic and send you much thanks for your reply.

you need to remember that:
1) using mng vault: the ABR server is duing the cleanup
2) using un mng vault: the abr work on the DB and the client delete the old files
3) directly to storage: only the client work on the cleanup
