Hi Jordi, Thank you for your answer. Yes, I expected that the smba tool would only archive a certain time frame. According to the documentation: "The smdba tool also manages your archives, keeping only the most recent backup, and the current archive of logs." Have I misinterpreted that and do I delete the superfluous archives manually or by script or does the smdba tool not do what it should do here? Thanks again Regards Thomas

Hi Thomas,
what would have you expected? Do you expect some kind of clean up maybe?
thanks for your feedback

Hello everybody,
Since our initial installation of Uyuni, we have been making database backups with the smdba tool. We set up the backup exactly according to the information in the documentation. After the first manual backup, the automatic backups were activated via cron and work perfectly. Today we received a warning about insufficient storage space and found that the old archives in the DB backup directory / var / spacewalk / db-backup are obviously not to be deleted. All daily archives are available back to 09/20/2020. Where do I start looking for the cause? Many thanks for the support!
best regards Thomas
