Re: Deleting backups after the source server has been decommissioned

Thanks for that.

Some follow-up questions:

1. Presumably, after I delete/decommission a hosting server that was backing up to a dedicated Jetbackup server, this means that the aging backed-up accounts on the Jetbackup server will no longer automatically expire according to the retention policy ...

Deleting backups after the source server has been decommissioned

Hi All,

We've recently decommissioned (deleted) a few old VPS, which were, up to the point of being decomissioned, still backing up cPanel accounts to a dedicated Jetbackup server.

We no longer need the backups from those VPS on our dedicated Jetbackup server.

How do we most easily/correctly ...

Re: When does reducing backup retention free up disk space?

Thanks, we'll give EDGE a go, because this problem we've experienced with JetBackup NOT gracefully freeing up space when the target server is full has caused us lots of grief!

Re: When does reducing backup retention free up disk space?

fyi, more info/ideas suggested by [email protected]:

Manual backups to retain: 14
Manual backups TTL: don't delete

I've now changed this to the following on the 4 source servers:

Manual backups to retain: 10
Manual backups TTL: 60

Re: When does reducing backup retention free up disk space?

Yes, I've reduced the backup retentions from 7 days/weeks/months to 5 days/weeks/months on all 4 servers that are backing up to the target server, but this is not causing the target server to release the disk space, i.e. the backups (21-15=6) that are no longer required are not being auto-purged as ...

Re: When does reducing backup retention free up disk space?

Thanks for that reply.

I've tried manually reindexing the destination backup server, from each of the 4 source servers, after reducing retentions down to 5 days/weeks/months (from 7), but it doesn't appear that any disk space is being freed up on the destination backup server.

Central management of notifications would be great!

I'm a big fan of centralised dashboards!

Being able to centrally manage the notifications for all servers from the management console would be great! It would be even better if we could bulk manage them, so that our notifications settings are consistent.

Please can you add this to your development ...
