SnapCenter SQL Log Only Backup Retention

[AshV]

Hi,

I have recently noticed the Up to the Minute retention settings on Full backups only apply for "Full Backup" and "Full and Log Backup".

We utilise the "Log Backup" policy quite extensively but there doesn't appear to be a way to specify how to delete these log only backups. The default appears to be 7 days, I would like to set this to be 3 days but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this.

All of our "Full backup" jobs are set to keep Up to the Minute for the last 3 days, but this isn't deleting the log only snapshots.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi AshV,

    You can set the Log backup retention via SnapCenter PS cmdlet

Set-SmPolicy -PolicyName 'logbkup' -PolicyType Backup -Description 'Log backup Policy' -retentionsettings @{"BackupType"="LOG_SNAPSHOT";"RetentionCount"="3"} -PluginPolicyType "SCSQL" -sqlbackuptype 'logbackup' -CreateLogFolderSnapshot
