ACS 5.3, delete local backup files.

Hello.
I'm doing a basic setup of ACS 5.3. For now, I'm configuring backup to a local repository
repository Backup
  url disk:/Backup
How can I automatically delete old files? I need to keep only the last seven files.
Thanks.
Andrea

I am not aware about anyway to do that.
You can take a backup then do data purge.
Deletion of those files can also be possible if you have a root patch and you are aware about where those are being stored in the file system.

  • Ola Hallengren maintenance solution TSQL script not deleting old backup files from my local SQL server

    I have looked on Ola's site (https://ola.hallengren.com/frequently-asked-questions.html) and I did see this:
    DatabaseBackup is not deleting old backup files. What could the problem be?
    Verify that the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service accounts have full control of the backup directory.
    If that directory is a network share, verify that the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service accounts have full control of the network share.
    If you are using a proxy account, verify that the account is a member of the sysadmin server role and that it has full control of the backup directory and network share.
    Verify that the file is not locked in the file system; for example, a backup or antivirus software could be locking the file.
    DatabaseBackup has been designed not to delete transaction log backups that are newer than the most recent full or differential backup. This could explain why transaction log backups are not being deleted.
    I followed these instructions and then I right clicked the "sp_delete_backuphistory" job under "SQL Server Agent > Jobs" folder and clicked the "Start job at step ..." option. The job successfully ran, but my .bak backup
    files were still on located on my separate drive partition I use specifically for these backups. 
    The SQL Server and the SQL Server Agent are both using the same AD account. 
    Would any of you SQL gurus out there know how to resolve this?
    Thank you 

    The sp_delete_backuphistory job only deletes the historical info from the backup & restore tables in the msdb database. It does not do anything to the files on disk.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188328.aspx
    The code to actually purge the backup files from disk is inside the DatabaseBackup stored procedure. It is controlled by using the @CleanupTime parameter for that stored proc. Verify the value for that parameter is low enough to delete your files on disk. The
    value is in hours, and I believe the default is 48 hours. The SQL agent job name usually starts with "DatabaseBackup...".

  • HT201250 How do I find and delete local backups.  This is taking up over 200g of space on my MBP

    I recently looked at my hard disc drive and backups were taking over 200gb of space.  I used the terminal command to stop taking local backups, but when I rechecked disc space it only moved the space from backup to other. 
    Is there a way to find and delete this files?  Then I can start fresh with Time Machine.
    Thanksm

    You don't need to delete local snapshots. They're delete automatically when free space falls below a certain level.

  • How Do I Delete My Backup Files off of my Hard Drive?

    I finally figured out what was eating up all of my hard drive! Check this out:
    43 Gigs in Backup!
    Now I can't figure where these files are located and how to delete all these files? I have a LaCie external drive I just purchased and would like to begin using it for backup purposes but in the meantime I wanted to delete all 43 gigs of waste. Can someone tell me how to do it? Thanks!

    Thank you ...I guess?
    I called Support and they helped me locate the files which was one "molecule of info" I gave in my message and they also helped me delete them which was the other molecule of information given. Backup 3 was the program which I failed to mention. In any event Apple Support was awesome to those of us new to Macs.

  • Deleting old backup files

    I backup to an external HD weekly using Backup (the little umbrella.) This 250 GB HD is almost filled. Can I delete older backups to make more room?

    I assume it would depend on how you use backups. If you need to have old versions of your files available to retrieve, then you might want to burn some older backups to dvd before deleting them. I just need one daily and one weekly backup , so I overwrite the backup each time. In case of hardware failure or corruption, I can always retrieve a file from either one day or one week (at most) prior. Files which need to be permanently archived go onto DVD. In that scenario there's no need for multiple backups of the same files at all.

  • HT5925 deleting old backup files from icloud ?

  • I am unable to delete a backup file from my Time Capsule.  What to do?

    Separately I asked for and got help here in relation to what to do with my Time Capsule when I changed computers.  I erased the contents of my Time Capsule that had been put there using my old Mac Mini and using Time Machine created a new backup of the same data that are now on my new Mac Mini. 
    In the process, however, I mistakenly created a backup of a large folder that I do not need.  I researched how to delete it using Time Machine and following the simple steps set forth tried a number of times, all without success, to delete the folder on my Time Capsule using Time Machine.  I go into Time Machine, I find the folder, I highlight it, I open the little widget and choose 'Delete all backups' of it, I choose 'OK' when asked if I am sure I want to do it . . . each time, though, nothing happens after that.  The folder remains there as it was, undeleted.
    Can anyone suggest what I might do?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your further help, Bob.
    My Mac Mini is a desktop.  I am using Mountain Lion with it, updated to the latest version.
    I went back into Time Machine (and now understand what you mean about 'Star Wars' screen), and found the timeline on the extreme right edge of my computer screen, as you explained.
    Despite the passage of time, I have only three 'times' expressed on the scale.  Two are purple, and represent the two times yesterday that I did backups, the original full backup and one subsequent one (I do not have Time Machine set up, now, to do automatic backups, only manual ones as I direct).  One is white and is marked 'Now'.
    When I click on the white time, 'Now', for my external HD, I get a long list of items, all but one of which I do not want and tried to delete yesterday.  Interestingly, however, when I click on either of the two purple times, for yesterday, the only item that appears is the one that I want to backup.  None of the other items is there. 
    If the purple items are the only ones that represent actual backups, then it would seem that the deletions I did yesterday in fact worked.
    If that is the case, again, there remains a bit of a puzzle as to why the 'now' position shows other items too, but if in fact that is just a glitch and does not represent anything actually saved on my Time Capsule, then there is no reason for me to be fussed, only puzzled.
    Your thoughts on what I have found and tentatively concluded?

  • When attempting a sync with my iPod Touch gen 5 I get this error "The iPod "****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I could not find the backup file to delete per researched support recommendation.  I have synced this iPod.

    "....could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I have synced this iPod with this MacBook Air about 6 weeks ago.  Now it won't sync.  A possible solution is to delete the backup file located in Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/  However, I don't have a "MobileSync" folder in my Application Support folder.  Please help.

  • Deleting all itunes backup files to remove backup encryption

    Alright, I need to reset my encrypted backup password on itunes, i forgot the password. I have all the data on my phone still so i am not trying to restore, i just want to remove the encryption so i don't mind deleting the backup files on my computer. I am up to date on iTunes and am running windows 7 64-bit. Thank you in advance.

    From the article mentioned below:
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
    This comes from the "iTunes and Encrypted Backups" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

  • Backup files on PC becomes too big, how to delete files not needed and where to delete them?

    I used iTune to manage iPhone and iPad. iTune will back up content of both devices. I found that recently the backup files become too many and used up a significant amount of my PC harddisk. How do I go about to delete old backup files to release harddisk space? Thanks.

    Backups for iPods, iPhones, and iPads are fairly small in size... 60-70mb approximately.
    I seriously doubt they are filling your hard drive or using a significant amount of space.
    You can remove backups via iTunes
    Edit > Preferences > Devices
    Select the backup or backups and delete them.
