      Hi!

      I did not find any details about how and if XOA is maintaining old backups.

      What happens to:

      • Backups of VMs that have been deleted
      • Mirrored-Backups of VMs that have been deleted
      • Backups of VMs, if the UUID did change (e.g. restored)
      • Mirrored-Backups if the UUID did change (e.g. restored)
      • Backups of VDIs, that were removed from a VM

      Is there any option to "cleanup" a backup-remove with "delete backups older than"?

      Thank you and best wishes
      KPS

        Am I the only one, having that problem?
        How do you monitor/clean your remotes from old backups? Did you write API-scripts with alerts about orphaned backups?

          Hi @KPS,

          The Backup > Health tab is intended to list these "detached" backups. Is this not working in your setup?

            Hi!

            Yes, this is working, but there seems to be no alert or "delete-schedule" for those backups
