This script examines backup filename and deletes them if necessary, it may need to be edited.
'If you want 3 day old files to be deleted then insert 3 next to Date - "your number here" 'This script will search out and delete files with this string in them ".2005-12-04-" This of course depends on the number you enter. 'You can always do a wscript.echo strYesterday or strFileName to see what the script thinks you are searching for. dtmYesterday = Date - 3 strYear = Year(dtmYesterday) strMonth = Month(dtmYesterday) If Len(strMonth) = 1 Then strMonth = "0" & strMonth End If strDay = Day(dtmYesterday) If Len(strDay) = 1 Then strDay = "0" & strDay End If strYesterday = strYear & "-" & strMonth & "-" & strDay strFileName = "C:\test*." & strYesterday &"-*" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile(strFileName)
Old XML backups can be deleted automatically by inserting a nightly or weekly automation script or cron similar to the following:
ls -t <path to your backup dir>/* | tail -n +6 | xargs -i rm {}
Or, using the older form of the tail
command if your system does not support the standard form:
ls -t <path to your backup dir>/* | tail +6 | xargs -i rm {}
Old XML backups can be deleted automatically by inserting a nightly or weekly automation script or cron similar to the following. Set the BACKUP_DIR and DAYS_TO_RETAIN variables to appropriate values for your site. Between runs, more files than DAYS_TO_RETAIN builds up.
#!/bin/sh # Script to remove the older Confluence backup files. # Currently we retain at least the last two weeks worth # of backup files in order to restore if needed. BACKUP_DIR="/data/web/confluence/backups" DAYS_TO_RETAIN=14 find $BACKUP_DIR -maxdepth 1 -type f -ctime +$DAYS_TO_RETAIN -delete
This backs up a mySQL database and the Confluence home directory.
