Issue Old backups aren't removed

fliegerhermi

Regular Pleskian
My disk was running full so I checked if there were unneeded files.
I found several customer-backups that don't show in the plesk backup manager in the clients subscription.
Is there any way to safely and automatically remove them?

In Tools-Backup-Manager->Schedule I set incremental monthly backups and a maximum of 6 month, which isn't activated.
How can I set a time-limit for the clients backups?


Thanks for your help!

PS: How to remove Plesk backup files and their logs
I found this knowledgebase-article. However what happens if I remove a backup, that still exists in the plesk db?
I was wondering if it is safe to exclude the dumps-folder when I run full server backups. 50% of the storage is backups so it doesn't make sense to me to backup Backups....
