Chapter 8. Backup Location Clean-

Sooner or later the backups you create will fill up the assigned storage space. Acronis

Recovery for MS SQL Server allows you to clean up backup locations by specifying how long

to store the archive and/or the maximum number of full backups to store. By default, these

options are disabled.

Launch the Backup Location Clean-up wizard by clicking on the icon in the main program

window.

8.1 Specifying a Task Execution Account

In the first step of the Backup Location Clean-up wizard, you have to specify a local or

domain account which is valid on the computer where the archives are stored – a task

execution account. The specified account must have rights and permissions to manage files

in the backup location you want to clean up.

Enter the Username and password then click Next. The domain name must be specified if

the user is a member of a domain (DOMAIN\Username).

8.2 Selecting the Backup Archive Location

Select the backup location you want to clean from the tree, or manually specify the path to it

in the Path field below the tree. You can also select Acronis backup locations (such as

Acronis Backup Server).

The following resources may also be selected for backup locations:

• Entire disk or disk folder;

• Network share, SAN, NAS;

• FTP;

• Acronis Backup Server.

Click Next to provide a password, if one is required, for archives in the selected backup

location.
