Ubuntu

simple backup is set to purge backups over a certain age but does not.

Asked by Roger Norton

OS: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
computer: acer aspire 7736Z pentium dual-core cpu t4400 2.2GHz x2 32 bit

Hello,

I have set the simple backup-configuration (there are two versions of this on my applications page: the simple backup-configuration and the simple backup-configuration for admins, both are set the same) to do a daily backup with a full backup every 5 days of selected directories, and purging set to erase all backups older than 9 days. The backups are made to a SD card.

The backups are not erased automatically.

Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Roger

Hello,

I'd like to keep this question open. At the moment I'm getting round
the problem by doing a weekly manual delete.

Regards,

Roger Norton
