--del-dir option doesn't rotate backup folder

Hi

We have an issue with argument --del-dir :

- Here the backup job command :
"/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=XSITools:z \
--snapshot=doquiesce \
--backup-point=/vmfs/volumes/Q18AI15841_S4AUE736_Backup0/BACKUP/FULLDEDUPLZO \
--backup-type=All \
--backup-how=Hot \
--del-dirs=+15d \
--use-smtp=2 \
--mail-to=xxxx@xxx.fr \
--backup-id=1 \
--description="xxxx" \
--subject="xxxx" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE1/XSIBACKUPPRO/XSIBackup-Pro/var/logs/xsibackup.log"



- Here the result of storage :

We can't debug your setup for you.
There isn't much we can say by taking a look at your job

2020-07-12T03:08:38|  [PGT-DC] info: no directories to delete as per the --del-dirs argument

So the --del-dir not work.

Re: --del-dir option doesn't rotate backup folder

The argument is printing out that it can't find any directory to delete as per the configured value.
Getting to the quick conclusion that it doesn't work is definitely the way to justify not dedicating time to check why you are receiving that message.

Please, note this thread corresponds to an old software edition - (c)XSIBackup Classic - which has been deprecated. Use our latest software edition: (c)XSIBackup-DC and refer to its manual to backup your (c)ESXi VMs as of 2021
