Hey,

is there an option to delete Backups after X days when a VM was deleted, or something similar.


Example if unclear:

Let's say we created some test VMs and delete them X days later. Then we still have our backups from those VMs until we create a new one with the same ID and wait till our prune settings will do their work, right?

We want to delete those unassigned backups after X days, or something similar like delete the VM with all backups etc.


Thanks,

Hi,

no there is currently no built-in option for this. You could code a script for this yourself using the API, but I would like to see this as a feature implemented as well :)
