Deletion of backups that exceed no. Established

Post by VascoVicenza »

After having established that the no. Backup to keep is 1 it happens to me that at the end of backup nr. 2 that only the entry in the history is deleted but not the physical backup.

Then check the permissions to the copied files.

What do you mean by 'Then check permissions for copied files'
I am using an administrator user to copy, I assume I also have ownership and deletion permission. However, this anomaly does not always happen but by chance.

Hello VascoVicenza,

Does your (local) administrator have delete rights on your NAS ?
Is "Copy file attributes" in Settings, Engine checked ?
