Hello

We are using a CRON job executing backup.php, the backup works well each Saturday evening to the ftp directory.

I would also like to delete files older than 60 days in the destination ftp folder.

Is there a way in backup.php to add this command?

Thank you in advance

Akeeba can't expire backups that have been transferred to another ftp server. The internal backups can be deleted based on total size of the backups or number of backup files. Does this answer your question?

Hello dlb

Actually I am aware that it there is not a setting in akeeba to do this

I was hoping for a piece of script to add to backup.php that would delete the file older than 60 days in the ftp folder on the destination server.

We could do a cron on the destination ftp folder/server, but would like just one process of

"backup domain / login to ftp / ftp backup file to folder / remove file older than 60 days / logout / process complete".

Is there any way to add the delete files older than 60 days in backup.php?

Here is a cron command “find site-* -maxdepth 0 -mtime +60 -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;”

Can this (or something similar) be executed from within backup.php while logged into ftp?

Thank you for your help

Sorry, I don't speak much "Command Line" and Google translate doesn't seem to work on it. :D I'll flag this for Nicholas.
