Manual snapshots retention
-
Tristis Oris To be honest, this just opens more "configurations/complications" for a fringe case.....
Manual backups should never be deleted, unless I specifically do that (in an enterprise environment you don't necessarily know why they were made but there certainly was a reason fir them).An information in the dashboard for backups "older" than x days could be interesting, yes.

Right, I think having just a list of Snapshots older then X (that aren't created from a scheduled job) would be beneficial to validate that things aren't getting too long in the tooth.
-
Could we have a consensus on how long? That would help to build the feature
-
olivierlambert
for a custom amount of time?) -
If we just want to display it in "Health view" that would be better to have at least a default value we all agree on
-
olivierlambert 30 days seems OK to me.
-
olivierlambert well, 30 days is a super maximum for any real needs to restore anything.

-
olivierlambert I added a response in the hopes that it clarifies the end-goal.
-
olivierlambert I wonder if it would be beneficial to show all snapshots older than 30 days not just ones not created by an automated process. For example what happens if a XO backup job runs, creates a snapshot but the process is interrupted and the job fails. Will the next time the job runs clean up the previous failed jobs snapshot or is there a chance a snapshot could be left behind?
-
flakpyro true, sometimes that happens and they will never be deleted.
I'm don't remember, but maybe such snaspshots not visible as orphaned. -

Garbage collection should be handling this...

In theory there's no such thing as XO checks. Now for the feature request, I prefer the idea of showing manual leftovers and leave the admin to decide what to do with it
-
you say here that this feature is implemented, but i don't see new menu. ec782
-
I think the dev working on it had personal issues few days before the release, so at worst it will be there in a patch release or in 5.106. There's so much things in the pipe, it's possible sometimes they aren't shipped on D-day. But it will be there finally
-
olivierlambert haha, i'm watching you)
-
Merged. Works as intented, thank you.
