Resolved Local Backupfiles won't be deleted

Qhiliqq

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

today my monitoring sent an alert of full disk.
After searching a bit I found the path /var/lib/psa/dumps
There are 400GB of files/backups?!
My backup manager is using only sftp to remote backupserver.

If I'm right the files should be removed after a upload to the remote server?
The remote server has all backups and there are no errorlogs (cause success).

Am I allowed to delete all files in dumps? Or are they neccessary (which wouldn't make sense for me)?

//EDIT:
Found it myself:

Code:
find /var/lib/psa/dumps/. -type f -name "*.tgz*" -exec rm -f {} \;
find /var/lib/psa/dumps/. -type f -name "*.xml" -exec rm -f {} \;


Regards and have a nice day,
Philipp
