Snapshot Using Dropbox Not Deleting Old Backups

I have set the Snapshot retention to three backups, but using Dropbox it doesn’t delete old backups, they just accumulate? Is this normal?

    Hi zimrock,

    Hope you are doing good today. :slight_smile:

    This is the default workflow of the plugin to keep a local copy of the snapshot in case things goes wrong when sending it to remote destinations.

    You can control these, when setting up regular snapshots as shown in the following screenshot:

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    You'll have to keep at least 1 snapshot as the value for "Local Storage Limit", and the plugin will automatically delete the last snapshot, and will create a new one in the server, and send it to remote destination.

    The options seen in the screenshot is available when you select " Run daily, weekly or monthly" option when creating a new snapshot, by clicking "Create Snapshot" button, under Snapshot > Snapshots page.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further query. Have a nice day ahead. :slight_smile:

    Regards,

    Nithin
