Hi,
I'm working on trying to get a backup solution going again but we are currently limited by the space Hetzner will give us. Currently the website team's home directory has about 10GB of stuff in it. Can some of this be cleaned up? Are there files that should be cleaned up on an automated basis?
Thanks,
Ken
There should be a directory of backups. Perhaps they need to be done less often now, and not hang around so much. Otherwise I am not sure what's there. I will try to log on to the machine when I get home tomorrow night (Monday, May 7, -05:00 GMT) and see what's there and what can be removed.

Or...
You continue to make daily backups and we have a cron job that does something like: delete all existing backups that are not either less than 7 days old, recorded on a Monday and are less than 90 days old, or recorded on the 1st Monday of the month.
This would keep the last 7 days of backups, one backup from every week for the next 83 days, and one backup a month for any earlier time.
Otherwise I am not sure what's there. I will try to log on to the machine when I get home tomorrow night (Monday, May 7, -05:00 GMT) and see what's there and what can be removed.
That would be great, thanks.

OK, so I modified the script. It's essentially what Ken suggested...
We will keep: - all files for 7 days - "first Monday of the month" files for one year - other Monday files for 60 days
Ken, let me know if that is sufficient. I also modified the cron jobs so that they run at 5 and 15 minutes after midnight instead of 4 times a day on the 5th and 15th minutes of the hour.

Thanks Jason Are these backups of saved images or of images that are running ? I have not been successful getting images that are backed up while running to work. Karl

That should make a significant difference, thank you!
