Hello,
in the post https://www.akeeba.com/support/akeeba-solo/34232:incremental-backups-and-quota-management-2.html#p189192 you write:
Create one backup profile that is a full site backup. Set up count quotas and set the quota count to one. Schedule this backup profile to run on the 1st of every month. You also need to manually run this backup after updating Joomla and its extensions.
Create a second backup profile of the Incremental Backup type. Set up count quotas for it and set the quota count to 30 (each month has up to 30 days but we don't take a backup on the 1st of each month, therefore we need up to 30 backups). Schedule this backup profile to run every day except the 1st of each month. Advanced mod: you can exclude database tables which have temporary data or infrequently modified data you can afford to lose (that's very site specific so I can't really guide you there).
I configured everything like this but weekly. I do a full backup on sunday (quota 3) and a backup every day from monday to saturday (quota 18). So i can go back 2-3 weeks and don't have to restore so much backups, because of the full backup every sunday.
Everything works fine so far.
BUT: the old backups aren't deleted automatically.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Matt
