Hi Excito,

I am using the backup function to backup the email, that works fine and I can restore too. However, when setting up I originally had a timeline of 1 year set. Now I changed that back to one week, but it seems the old timelines are not cleaned up.

Would be handy to have a way through the webinterface to cleanup old timelines.

Thanks,

Albert

HI Albert, they should be cleaned up, but it might take a while before it does. How long have you waited? If they won't clean up after say a few weeks let us know, and we'll investigate.

Hi Johannes,

I changed the settings on Saturday, four days ago. I assumed that the cleanup was done immediately.
I'll give it another week then.

Hi Johannes,

it seems that it works. The old backups were actually cleaned up. However, that excludes the files in
/home/admin/.backup/mail/fileinfo, in that directory it still shows all the older backups info files. These are also the backups shown in the web interface list, which is the reason I still see the old backups. Obviously, since the actual backup has been cleaned up, most of these old backups can never be restored (as they are removed).

So, in short, I think you need to change a few bits in your backup interface to duplicity where it should clean the files in the fileinfo directory.

Cheers,

Albert

Ah, you are right! Thanks for letting us know this, bug posted, scheduled fix for 2.5.
