$ find /path/to/backups -mtime +28 -delete
will find files last modified more than 28 days ago and delete them.

I don't know about bacula, but for backupc, look at the
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} setting[1]. It should be trivial to adapt the
example to SSH into your client and run the above command before backup
begins.
dont wana backup i actually wont to copy and bring all the data to
centralized network folder and it should ignore all the old file and only
select new file from the backup list. please help

That would probably do exactly what you need. Once a day your cron could also fire off a job that would use find to find everything more than 30 days old, and delete them. Could I please ask a favor of you? I read over 500 non-spam emails a day, so I need to do it fast, and rely on traditional capitalization and punctuation for fast reading. Could I please ask you to capitalize i, as well as the first letter of every sentence? When reading fast, it really does make a difference.
