My guess is you may also have 'Create zip archive' on, which is both time
consuming and very CPU intensive for most but small repositories.
Like Fred explained, backup cleanup happens right after the last backup
completed successfully - if there is even one error or warning cleanup will
not happen as a safeguard. In 2.1.x you can also get email alerts as an
admin on potential backup problems.
If you need further help, please indicate what version you are running and
attach your configuration (or you can send it directly to [email protected]
).

Thanks,

Yoav
