Joomla! version: 1.5.25
PHP version: 5.2.15
MySQL version: 5.0.22
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Akeeba Backup version: 3.4.3

Description of my issue:
I have have been using Box.net for a while using a CRON process run daily.

Despite having enabled Remote File Quota, no maximum age file quota, no size quota and enabled Count quota with a custom value of 3, the older files are not being deleted from the box.net storage space.

I noticed that the log file has this suspect lines:

DEBUG |120424 04:16:06|There were no old backup files to apply quotas on
DEBUG |120424 04:16:06|Applying remote file quotas
DEBUG |120424 04:16:06|No remote files to apply quotas to were found

Actually there are dozens of previous backup files stored there by Akeeba.

That's by design. The box.net integration currently does not allow you to delete files, therefore it can't enforce the remote file quotas. A future version will address this limitation. One note of caution, though. Future versions, with enhanced features, will only be available for Joomla! 2.5. Joomla! 1.5 has now entered the final leg of its life, supported only with security releases until September. This means that our focus also changes to Joomla! 2.5 and we will continue offering support for using Akeeba Backup 3.4.x on Joomla! 1.5 until September. After that date, we will completely drop Joomla! 1.5 support. It's a good idea to start migrating your sites to Joomla! 2.5 now.

Thanks Nicholas for the great product you developed and the outstanding support.

I hope it will be possible to do that in the future and/or on Sugarsync, should you support that system in the future as well. I understand your position about Joomla versioning and we hope to soon migrate the remaining sites we have on 1.5 as well.

I've added SugarSync support last week and, yes, remote quotas do work on it! Still it's the same downside, this feature will only be made available to Joomla! 2.5 users. It sucks that I have to do that, but it was the only way to add other new features which could work either on Joomla! 1.5 or 2.5, but not both.
