Nagios Support Forum

Hi guys,

I notice that the /store/backups/ space usage is growing fast. Is this normal?

At the moment we have on nagiosXI 1203 Hosts and 13401 Services.

Hi support,

Is there a way to limit weekly backups to the last month (last 4 weeks) and monthly backups to the last year (last 12 months)?

Thanks

Yes, though it requires editing the following scripts: Most of them are already set to only retain 5 or so of each type.

Hi Support,

I found a bug in both the scripts:

line 540 in /root/scripts/automysqlbackup
change
eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/$DB_week.$REMW.*"
to
eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/$DB/${DB}_week.$REMW.*"

line 389 in in /root/scripts/autopostgresqlbackup
change
eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/$DB/week.$REMW.*"
to
eval rm -fv "$BACKUPDIR/weekly/$DB/${DB}_week.$REMW.*"

It should be OK for us now

Thanks for the feedback! I am forwarding your mods to our developers. Locking this topic as resolved.
