Re: [Networker] How to remove oldest data from server

In regard to: [Networker] How to remove oldest data from server,...:

My backup server [dbserver] client schedule is FULL EVERYDAY, Browse and
retention policy day, but this follow list 2 days backup.

Why this backup 2 day data saves? What solve this problem.


Read the NetWorker Administrator's Guide, it's explained in there.
Pay special attention to the "Managing the data lifecycle" section.

NetWorker always keeps data for the length of your browse policy PLUS the
length of one full backup cycle.  For you, that means two days.

C:\>mminfo -c dbserver -N MSSQL:UserData

volume             client                date                  size

If you need data to be expired faster than two days, you'll need to write
a program (script) to identify the savesets that you want removed, and
remove them.
