I can't get the automatic clean-up to work.

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I am trying to get my incremental backup scheme to work but all my old versions are staying there.

My settings are Incremental, create a full version after every 15 incremental versions.

Then for the clean-up I tried Delete version chains older than 7 days.

We are now in may and I still have my January backups untouched.

So tonight I tried Store no more than 3 recent version chains, and I still have all my old backup all the way back to January.

Is there anything I might be doing wrong? The clean-up settings looks quite simple, but they are not doing anything it seems.

My version is 2014, build 6673

Let me know if there's any additional information I can provide in order to pinpoint what the problem might be.

At this point, I would start a new task in a new directory. The "store no more than 3 recent version chains" option has always proven to be the most reliable retention rule. That one should work for sure.
