Old backups not deleted | WordPress.org

I just noticed my Dropbox is full and it was caused by old backups not being deleted. All my sites are configured to delete backups older than 14 days.

On a lot of sites this didn’t happen since May 22. On these sites I updated two plugins (Advanced Custom Fields Pro and Yoast SEO) on May 21.

On other sites, where I didn’t update the two plugins, backups are still being deleted after 14 days. So those websites are fine.

Any suggestions?

Hi @danielbenjamins,

We have changed naming detection for BackWPUp so new version will not delete old backup files, so you have to manually delete these old backup files.
Sorry for the inconvenience but it will occur only this time.

Hope that helps you,
Cuong
