backups dont get deleted

Post by mbblcnetworks »

Hi,

I would like thank you for develop this nice tool, i have donated, keep the good work.

I am having a problem with some backups.

I have configured one folder to full backup ever day in my laptop, with rule of keep 3 full copies.

It works ok if i keep my laptop on everyday, but if i turn off my laptop for 2 days the backup still work ok but for some reason it wont delete the old backup, so after some time instead of having 3 backups in my FTP server i have like 15 old backups.

Its a bug or i am doing something wrong ?

Thank you.

Shouldn't make any difference I think.

I need to check his out but I don't see why the deletion is failing. Do you see any error in the log?

I'm having a similar problem, I just didn't notice that point if I turn off the computer that generates the problem. I use windows 11 now, previously used windows 10 and it worked perfectly.
By the way, really, what a beautiful job, because I've been using it for years. It is by far the most reliable software I have ever used for this. And above all simple.

I currently only have this issue of not having the previous backups detected.

Hi,

Turning off PC for days to try duplicate the problem is hard and takes much time.

For now i find out something that can be related.

It seens if backup fails to complete it will not be deleted later.

For example, for a backup of 5GB , if internet breaks at 1GB uploaded of turn off PC at 1GB uploaded, the backup fails and will not be counted later.

Can you improve this ? because even if upload fails, space will still be used in FTP server, after many fails the FTP space will be full.

Would be nice even if the backup fail, Cobian Reflection try remove failed backup from FTP server in next task run.

Thank you.
