Sorry, I still do not unterstand. All backup files are stored in folders with a syntax like you mentioned before. So why do the old directories did not get deleted to free up space?
And there are no other directories in my backup folder which do NOT follow the mentioned syntax. And all files in side the folders with a syntax you mentioned before are created during one of the backup procedure NOT manually be me.
So, how can I use the feature for automatically deleting old backups when a specific amount of used backup space was reached?

I cannot see any error in my configuration!

Sorry, I do not understand your answer.
I use the option "date-dir" and start making backups to an empty directory. So how can I ensure, that the backup files created with the necessary datedir information? I did not create any files or folders manually!

Hello,

I want to backup 3 virt. system in sum about 192 GB data. So I have mounted a NFS share for backup. I only need one backup for each vm. So I calculated 500 GB space for the backup. So one backup for each system should already exist, when I creat the third backup the first one must be deleted before the creation is possible.
My job file looks like this:

"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=XSITools \
--date-dir=yes \
--certify-backup=yes \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/tdraid/BACKUP \
--backup-type=custom \
--backup-room=500 \
--backup-how=cold \
--backup-vms=ubuntu,win10,lexware \
--remote-xsipath=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir \
--mail-from=yyy@yyy.de \
--mail-to=xxx@xxx.de \
--backup-id=001 \
--description="backup of production VMs" \
--subject="TD-ESXii-Backup" \
--smtp-srv=1.2.3.4 \
--smtp-port=25 \
--smtp-auth=none \
--smtp-usr="dummy" \
--smtp-pwd="xxx" \
--shutdown-wait=120 \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

So, when I begin with making backups, everything works fine, until I the first backup where old backups must be deleted.
Then I get the following error message:

• [ Sun Apr 7 01:06:55 UTC 2019 ] ERROR (MKROOM01), details Error: cannot make 140G of room, only 95G can be made available

• [ Sun Apr 7 01:08:00 UTC 2019 ] ERROR (MKROOM01), details Error: cannot make 140G of room, only 93G can be made available

• rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1165) [sender=3.1.0]

I do not understand the problem. Why is it only possible to delete some parts of the old backups? And how can I solve this issue?
