delete-backups

Posted May 9th, 2008 by jahyde

These scripts will delete freepbx or trixbox backups older than 30 days.

This one is for freepbx backups (made by the freepbx backup module in admin gui).

type
nano -w /etc/cron.weekly/rmoldbackups.cron
and paste in the following (it should show as only 2 lines of code):

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find /var/lib/asterisk/backups/ -depth -type f -mtime +30 | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -f >/dev/null 2>&1

Then type:
chmod +x !$

You can then test it by typing:
/etc/cron.weekly/./rmoldbackups.cron
This should now run automatically every week.

This script will delete old trixbox backups (made by the trixbox backup module in Maint gui).

Use the same procedure above to paste it into a new cron job.


#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find /var/lib/trixbox/backups/ -depth -type f -mtime +30 | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -f >/dev/null 2>&1
