Chapter 7. Backup Location Clean-up

Sooner or later the backups you create will fill up the assigned storage space. Acronis
Recovery for MS Exchange 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.

7.1 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 user name and password then click Next. The domain name must be
specified if the user is a member of a domain (

DOMAIN\Username

).

7.2 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

Important! The backup location clean-up operation will be performed for the
selected location and affect all database archives, created by Acronis Recovery
(even if these are archives for Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, or
Oracle).
