• Hi,

    I have found a huge number of failed backup failes.
    In the settings I have activated the option to delete old backups long time ago. This works.
    But the option does not work with failed backup archive files e.g. backwpup_2FX5DSJ501_2018-07-11_03-00-21.zip

    Is this a wanted feature or a bug?
    Could you please change the situation so that a failed file will be deleted after some days, too?

    hmm, as I understand your question, backwpup_2FX5DSJ501_2018-07-11_03-00-21.zip is an old backup file from old or another job so I think it’s will be tracked and will not be deleted.

    ( in bellow File Deletion section, you can see BWP warning: Files belonging to this job are now tracked. Old backup archives which are untracked will not be automatically deleted. )

    I am surry because I confused the file names.
    The files are looking like:
    backwpup_2FX5DSJ501_2018-07-11_03-00-03.zip.UiuCsn

    I have found in on domain 20-30 files with this randomized letters after the file extenions zip (there are a lot of domains on my server)

    Please delete that files, I think BackWPUP progress was terminated by the server when running so that lead to these files.

    Try to reduce server load by going to BackWPUp -> Settings -> Job tab -> Reduce server load and choose medium.

    Yes, I know that. Because it created after failed backup by example when the there is not enough space on disc or a timeout because the database is to big through too much spam commentaries and it works in second or third automatically repeat.

    My question is If you could change the plugin so it cleans its own failed archives attempts after finishing the archive or do not create failed archive files and delete them immediately? ??
    Is there a benefit of failed backup archive files or is impossible to delete them by example because permissions?
