   What's the safest way to remove the old backups generated by Partial Failure retention?
   
   I have set mine to weekly and incremental. But there is 1 account that is causing failure and I have several weeks copies of these backups.

   Hello,
   
   You can manually remove a backup archive from the corresponding directory it's stored in with the "rm" command. EX:
   
   

   Code:

   rm /backup/$date/accounts/username.tar.gz

   Thank you.
