Backup Retention Not running

Ro

Hi! I created a backup with automatic retention in CyberPanel, but retention is not working so I don’t keep backups unnecessarily. I put it to have the retention for each backup to delete the previous one. Does anyone know what can it be?

Cyberpanel did not release an update about this, and did not fix the situation,
I solved the situation by writing code myself.

The code is very simple, and it works when you define this code as a cronjob to run once a day.

Important
When you copy the following codes, be sure to set the backup location and renetation time.

Cronjob Line;
0 21 * * * sh /root/ogun-backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

ogun-backup.sh content;

#--------------------------------------------
echo “Emptying old backup folders…”
#--------------------------------------------
#Deleting files older than 10 days
#--------------------------------------------
cd /backup/allsites/
find . -mtime +10 > temp.txt
for i in cat temp.txt
do
rm -f $i
done
rm -f temp.txt
#--------------------------------------------
echo “Unloaded folders are also being removed…”
find . -type d -empty -delete -maxdepth 1
#--------------------------------------------
echo “Old backups deleted.”;
