Backup PartialFailure notification?

[webdsn]

I have a Server backup mode set to Incremental
Retention parameter is set to 1

The backup data of yesterday should be deleted after the backup is completed today.

But when I checked the backup data, I found that there were several days of backup data.

when I check backup log
I saw some error messages at the end of the log file.

Hello @webdsn

This just indicates that there were errors in the backup that caused it to fail to back something up - you'll need to look through the logs to identify the errors which led to this result. The default behavior of the automated backup system is *not* to remove partially failed backups. The documentation on backup retention behavior may be helpful here: Backup Configuration - Version 74 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Hi @webdsn

By default, if the backup fails retention will NOT be enforced. If you would like to force retention then you will need to enable the Strictly enforce retention option as indicated in the documentation
