Hi,
I follow your video tutoria and I think that Akeeba backup is fantastic! I have scheduled 3 automated backup for each site:

1. Running every day
2. Running every first of Month
3. Running every first day of january of every year

I schedule everything to run by Cronjobs (by url) and, of course, I setup 3 different cronjobs
I want to keep the last 30 days the last 12 month and the last 3 years...but I don't find way to tell to the component to delete older backup so the situation is always clean.

Also, is possible to tell to the single configuration to backup in two different plase remotely (one on DropBox e one on a provate FTP?)

Thanks

p.s.
Davide se mi rispondi te...grazie in anticipo!

Yes, you can do that by enabling Count quotas and "Enable remote quotas" in each profile's configuration. You need a different setup for each profile.

Profile 1 (Running every day). Enable count quotas, set it to 30.

Profile 2 (Running every first of Month). Enable count quotas, set it to 12.

Profile 3 (Running every first day of January of every year). Enable count quotas, set it to 3.

Also, is possible to tell to the single configuration to backup in two different places remotely (one on DropBox and one on a private FTP?)


No, you can't. It's either one or the other.
