Hi,

you can see the exact command that gets executed using
Code:
cat /etc/cron.d/vzdump
Note that the --remove parameter is not specified. Consequently, it should get the default value 1/true.
Then you have to edit your storage QNAPBackupPROXMO... and set the Max Backups parameter.
Your old backups should be removed when you create a new backup and the maximum number of backups is reached.

i can't see the option to set the max parameters :

maybe is this :
(Max number backup ) i put to 10

but he is the max storage by VM, or a max storage for all VM ?

EDIT : MAYBE response is this : found here : https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_storage_types

maxfiles
Maximum number of backup files per VM. Use 0 for unlimited.




OR


i have to edit the command line and add the paramater --remove :

Exactly. This should be sufficient.

i have to edit the command line and add the paramater --remove :
This should not be necessary.
If the parameter --remove is not specified, then it is automatically enabled (default value).
