Can backups be set to overwrite?

Jon Alderson

I have a client running Jira version 5.1.4. The other week their webserver hosting Jira / Confluence went down due to a diskspace issue. It was determined that the backups of Jira were consuming a large amount of space as they were not setup to over-write existing backups after XX amount of days. Is there a way to set this up so that they will not run out of drivespace again? Any help is greatly appreciated,

Jon

Actually you can.

Assuming you are doing a daily backup:

If you need to store just for a week, use E
If you need to store for a month, use d
If you need to store for a year, use D

interesting, haven't seen this before. Where do we give this option?

There is no option in JIRA using which you can overwrite backups because it uses timestamp in its name. You might want to write a cron job or something to monitor the space or just delete old backups periodically.

In services for configuring the automatic backups, if you click edit you get an edit box which accepts custom date formats. Basically it's a tweak using the Java SimpleDateFormat

Awesome. One more "awesome" to make it more than 10 chars!
