Retention of SnapDrive Snapshots

moncsko — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:26:38 GMT

Would anyone know of a way to set a retention policy for snapshots created from the SnapDrive CLI? IHAC who is using Windows Task Scheduler and the sdcli to create daily snapshots and wants to keep two weeks of them, but doesn’t want to have to manually delete the older ones. I’m guessing this would require some scripting logic outside of the sdcli.

Thanks.

Welcome to the communities

If you type in the full path to sdcli into run it will open a very nice help screen. This tells you what you need to know.
