Remove old backups when automatic backup

[esports]

Hi,

I am using WHM for automatic backups for each cPanel account into Amazon S3. For now I am doing it once per week, but I'd like to do it twice per week and keep the backups for a month.

This means that after the 8th backup, the 9th one will replace the 1st one. The 10th will replace the 2nd one and so on. Therefore I'll always have just 8 backups stored.

How could I set this up? Is it possible from WHM ?

Hello,

The "Scheduling and Retention" section of the following document should help explain your current options:

Backup Configuration - Version 56 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

You can also vote and add feedback to the existing feature request at:

Ability to control retention for S3 Backup Destination

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

If I understand correctly, Retention works only on the current server. Therefore, for S3 I have to write a custom script ?

Hello,

This is correct, however it might not require a custom script. You can review the comments section on that feature request to view user-submitted workarounds involving the Amazon S3 management console.

Thank you.
