Environment: Windows 2012 R2
Hi,
Perhaps someone can explain this for me . . .
I am performing a BareMetal backup to a local volume on the server.
I have a scheduled Bi-Weekly BareMetal backup. One hour before the backup, I run a maintenance task to keepVersion:2 so that only 2 versions of the BareMetal backup are kept.
The next BareMetal backup which is run is successful. I open a PS session, runwbadmin get versions and it shows 3 BareMetal backups performed. 2 weeks later, the next maintenance scheduled task is run, it removes the oldest BareMetal backup and displays 2 BareMetal versions (wbadmin get versions). When I open Explorer, under WindowsImageBackup\<Servername>, it still shows the BareMetal backup version which was deleted. I.E. runningwbadmin get versions shows 2 versions of the BM backup, but 3 versions exist in Explorer.
As this continues, the BM's are deleted when running wbadmin get versions but the files are not being removed.
If this continues without my checking it, I will eventually run out of disk space.
Why aren't the files for the BM backup being deleted when my maintenance task (wbadmin DELETE BACKUP -keepversions:2) runs?
Help!
