Backup Retention

[MichaelF]

So I recently setup my backups to go to object storage.

I have a retention policy of 2 days however it does not look like it is deleting the older backups as I have like a month and a half of backups in my object storage.

I tried to manually run the the cleanup but it still didnt remove the old backups.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@michaelf Do you have any retention policy on the S3 bucket? Also is this with backblaze? If so I believe it is a known issue right now.

@michaelf Did you happen to change the backup format or other backup settings? Cloudron does delete backup of old "format" or if you changed the backup provider.

One thing you can do is: Backups -> Cleanup Backups. Then click on logs, it will tell us why each backup is removed (or not). Can you paste the logs here (or you can send them over to support@cloudron.io if it seems sensitive).

@girish I emailed the logs to you a couple of days ago. Let me know if you didnt receive it.

Thanks

@michaelf Got the logs! Still clearing out my back log, will get back tomorrow for sure.

@michaelf I put some notes on how to read the logs at https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#cleanup-backups and also replied to your support ticket. Do you see any backups in linode object storage that are not listed in the logs? Otherwise, the logs do look fine to me.
