Scheduled Backup/Export

bschaper — Sat, 05 Feb 2022 02:59:44 GMT

So I have panorama backing up to ftp, all works well, but I noticed it doesn’t ever clean up the backups? Can we tell it how many copies/days to keep somewhere. It is not a huge amount of data but I have exports daring back over a year and will never go back to those.

Thank you for the post @bschaper

Could you confirm the PAN-OS version you are running? If you are running 9.1.X, it might be related to this: PAN-159295 addressed in 9.1.13.

Kind Regards

Pavel

Also, this is not on panorama itself, but two an FTP server. But for example our Cisco call manager exports to an external server as well, but manages how many backups it has saved and clean them off as they age out
