LINHES 7.2 automatically creates nightly backups for the database. My /myth/system_backups directories currently contains 3.0GB of backups.

Question -- is there anything that automatically limits the amount of space used for these backups, or will they continue to accumulate until I run out of disk space?

With 7.2 the file will keep building up.
With 7.3 the backup files are removed after 21 days.

Jams, thanks for the info! I just added this to my daily cronjob script to keep things tidy in the meantime:

Code:

find /myth/system_backups/ -mtime +90 -name \*.tgz -print -exec rm \{\} \; >> /var/log/marc/cron_daily.log 2>&1
