    Hello,

    I’d like to report that the files keep accumulating in my S3 on Dreamhost storage.

    There are more files that configured in “File deletion” parameter.

    There is noting relevant in the log file. Here is the S3 part:

    [20-Jan-2022 02:45:17] Backup archive created.

    Hello @prossel
    hmm as I remember DreadHost will make these backup files go to the trash bin, they will be completely removed after about a week, could you please check?
    Thank you!

    Hello @duongcuong96

    I don’t see any trash bin. When I delete a file with Cyberduck, I don’t see it anywhere else.

    I have a WP test site with BackWPup and a job configured to save on S3 / Dreamhost, file deletion set to 2.

    I can run the job 3 times in a row or every day, no matter what the files keep accumulating and not is deleted.

    I also have other WP sites in production with daily backups on S3. No file has ever been deleted automatically and it’s been configured since several months. I need to delete them manually.

    Could a BackWPup developer check that the file deletion actually works on S3 / Dreamhost ?

    Hello @prossel
    Sorry, my delayed response, I was not at work that time, please help me to make sure that Delete bucket permission is enabled.

    Hello @duongcuong96,

    I don’t see permissions options in DreaHost panel.

    And I tested with UpdraftPlus which has no problem deleting old archives.

    Regards
    Pierre
