backing up to dropbox but even though I choose for only one archive to be kept, the older ones don't automatically get removed

Hello,

can you please share a screenshot of quota policies for the backup profile you're using?

Your settings seems to be good, when you say "the backup archive doesn't get deleted", do you refer to the backup on your site on on DropBox?

the local server backups (i.e. on the host) are being removed ok, the old backups (I've set it to only keep one) don't get removed on Dropbox.

Ok, that's the expected behavior. Please check the option Enable remote quota , so quota policies will be applied to the remote service, too.
