Backup not removed on destination

[leonep]

Hi,
my CP Backup works fine on local directory and transport to additional destination but it not removes olds backups in the additional destination..
of course if i do not remove manually it fills fast !
where can i start to troubleshoot this ?
thanks

Hi @leonep

And are the backups completing successfully locally? You can see the backup status on all the logs that are present by running something like the following:

grep "Sent Backup::" /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup/*

yes i have backups in local and the trasport also work. the problem is that don't remove old backup in additional destination. i have no rotation and the backup destination become full....

Hi @leonep

A partial failure though could result in the backups either not being pruned or not being moved period, which is why I asked for the information I did.

You should also be able to see if there was issues with the pruning operation on the remote destination by checking the backup transport logs which can be found at:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup_transporter/

no partial failure, but the old backups is still in destination... now i wait the destination become full and check log (i manually delete 3 or 4 days ago for get fresh backup)
thanks
