    My backups are configured with DigitalOcean Spaces.
    The Retention Policy being 3 months.

    But, even though, the backup section in my Cloudron app shows backups only for the last 3 months, the DO Spaces bucket still has all the backups from the date since i set up the system, which was last year.

    1. Is it by design or a bug?
    2. Is there any existing method in Cloudron to delete the obsolete backups from the DO Spaces bucket?

    @girish The issue remains. Cloudron does not delete older backups from the S3 storage.

    For now, i've manually deleted them.

    @shrey if it starts retaining obsolete backups again, can you please write to support@cloudron.io ? I can't reproduce this in any of our instances.

    @girish That never stopped. I just deleted upto a certain date, the 'obsolete' backups after that date are still persisting.
    Will send the details in the email as well.

    I have the same issue. One backup that was done using .tar is not deleting now (5 day overdue on deletion) that I'm using rsync. I've tried reverting settings to but to no avail. The backup in question seems to be MASSIVE too, something's odd about this. Truth be told, I'd appreciate a simple "Delete Backup" option 😉

    @svtx yes, we are looking into these improvements in 7.6

    When investigating @shrey 's situation a bit, we found that stale/partial backups are not cleaned up properly. Will get this fixed in 7.6 as well.

    I've been having the same issue with S3, switched to DO Spaces now because it's easier to monitor. I had terabytes of data in my S3 bucket and only noticed it once I got my bill. With DO Spaces it's now the same issue, there's still backups from three days in there despite a 2 day retention policy.

    Hi @girish
    By when can we expect a (stable) solution for this?
