SFTP Backups are not deleted #90

Closed dynanode closed 4 years ago

dynanode commented 4 years ago

When using Vesta´s SFTP backup method in the default setting 3 backups, backup files for the last 3 days are created and also older files are deleted. However this is not done on the Remote SFTP site, no backups are deleted and the backup server has to store one file per day.

The rotation is optional. You can enable or disable it. By default, it should be enabled (Backup rotation is active).

Can you check this file: cat /usr/local/vesta/conf/sftp.backup.conf Does it have the ROTATE parameter?

Example:

HOST='***.***.***.***'
USERNAME='***'
PASSWORD='***'
BPATH='backup'
PORT='22'
ROTATE='yes'
TIME='20:30:39'
DATE='2020-06-20'

Try to add the ROTATE parameter or change it to 'yes'. If you already have this, then this can be a bug.

Oh there is a rotate parameter? Did not know that. Ok then this makes sense. Added it to my config. Thank you.

Thank you. I will reopen this issue the fix this problem for everyone where the parameter is missing. I'm also working on a website to document this kind of small features.
