Manual snapshots retention
-
@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.
