Found this type of answer.. C:\WINDOWS\system32\forfiles.exe /P "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP" /D -7 /C "CMD /C DEL @FILE" Make an automated task on the server that will delete files older than 7 days on the server.. So I didn't get it via rsync or backuppc.. but got it to work none the less.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
