Hi,

It could be possible that a manual backup was created i.e. from Softaculous GUI which caused the auto backup rotation to not delete this backup because the auto backup utility only deletes the backup created by auto backups.

Deleting unwanted backups should resolve your issue.

I had to install WordPress twice, that might be the reason there was two backups for the first day.
Now I've got several mails about backups going OK, so the problem seems to be solved.

There seem to be an improvement possibility; to delete the oldest backup which it can delete, not necessarily the oldest backup.
Then it'll be possible to make a special backup, like before a bigger change, and have it until the new version is approved.
It might though be nice to recieve a mail, telling that the oldest backup couldn't be deleted.

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion.

We will add the error message that the backup could not be deleted soon.

Hi. Have auto backup scheduled to daily with backup rotation set to 4. Backup set size is 114MB. Just got a notification from my provider that I'm about to hit their 25GB limit. I checked my settings, saw rotation was still set to 4, but I had six months of daily backups listed. Any idea why backups over 4 are not being deleted?

I would post the Softaclous version, but I can't seem to find it in cPanel or in the app itself.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

We tested the backup rotation on our test servers and it seems work fine. Can you please open a support ticket with us so that we can check this for you ?

Hi,
Are you looking for Weekly auto backups ? If yes you can choose Weekly backups and choose the appropriate auto backup rotation i.e. if you choose rotation as 1 only 1 backup will be available at any point in time. If you choose the rotation as 2 only 2 backups will be available at any point.
