(Solved) Backup Virtual Servers - Old backups not deleted from S3

Hi,

My Virtualmin domain backups are not being properly deleted from S3 after their delete-after date has passed. I have several weeks of backups present, but I get the following message in the log file:

4 servers backed up successfully, 0 had errors.

Deleting backups from %Y-%m-%d_daily in Amazon S3 bucket my-unique-bucket-backup01 older than 7 days ..
.. no backups to delete were found

Configuration: Bucket and Path is set to: my-unique-bucket-backup01/%Y-%m-%d_daily

Delete old backups: Yes, after 7 days

Do strftime-style substitutions enabled

Backup format: One file per server

Create destination directory enabled

Backup level: Full (all files)

I also backup a %Y-%m-%d_weekly backup to the same bucket.

Any ideas? Thanks

Is it possible the %Y-%m-%d_daily (with the "_daily" suffix) is messing things up? Do I need to name the backup simply "%Y-%m-%d" ?

Solved. Apparently the suffix "_daily" was making the script unable to recognize the date string. I am now using separate folders for daily, weekly, monthly, and the folder/filename is set simply to %Y-%m-%d.
