Pruning Backups

Over time you can end up with many backups for a project. You can remove backups in bulk by specifying how many backups of each type you want to keep. The iCDB Project Backup utility removes all other backups.

Note:

Backups marked as Persistent are not removed. See Making a Backup Persistent.

Procedure

  1. In the iCDB Project Backup utility, open the Backup prune dialog box with Backup > Prune backups.
  2. If you want to change the Backups to leave number for any of the backup types, select the row and click Edit. The Backup type prune settings dialog box appears.
  3. Select the number of backups to keep.
    Note:

    Only the backups you have permission to remove appear in the Backup prune dialog box. See the RemoveSystemBackup, RemoveUpgradeBackup, and RemoveUserBackup keys in the ProjectBackup.cfg Configuration File for more information.

  4. Click Prune.
