Hello,
I have configured Akeeba to delete oldest remote stored backups when more than 3, but for some reason it doesn't work.
The cronjob works normally, and backups are being generated correctly each day

(see attached screenshot for akeeba configurations)

I enabled remote files quota it 1 month ago, but I still have to delete files manually every week

Joomla Version: 1.5.22
Akeeba: 3.2.3
Apache: 2.2.17
MySQL: 5.1.52
PHP: 5.2.15
Hosting Company: Hostgator.com

Regards,
Niccolò

What are the permissions of the remotely uploaded backup archives? Can you check them with an FTP client, please?

Is this connected to your other post? If Akeeba Backup can't successfully talk to the remote FTP server, remote files won't be deleted.

Since there seems to be an issue with the FTP server, let's keep the conversation in the other thread.
