LiteSpeed for SQL Server 8.9.1 - Configure Log Shipping Guide

SmartCleanup Command-Line Arguments

The slsSmartCleanup command-line utility (slsSmartCleanUp.exe) allows you to find and remove old full, differential and transaction log backups based on a user-defined period (either the file age or the date).

Arguments
Cloud-Specific Arguments
Proxy-Specific Arguments

The backup retention will never delete:

The backup files, if there are mixed backups in the same backup file. For example, if a user performs a backup of AdventureWorks and Pubs into the same mybackups.bak backup file.
The full backup, if there are associated differential or t-log backups in the backup set that are not eligible for cleanup.

File/FileGroup backups
File/FileGroup differential backups
Partial backups
Partial differential backups
Files that have the filesystem archive bit set (if that option is selected)

Arguments

NOTES:

Single-letter arguments are case-sensitive, and they can be preceded by a figure dash '-' or '/'.
Verbose multi-letter arguments are not case-sensitive, they must be preceded by double dashes '--'.

-Argument	--Argument	Description
-a	--KeepArchiveFiles	Turns on monitoring and refuses to delete files that have the archive filesystem bit set. When enabled dependent files are not deleted.
-b	--BackupRetain	Specifies the number of units (N). The full or differential backup must be at least N units old before it is eligible for cleanup. See BackupRetainUnits for unit types details Note: Old argument BackupRetainDays is still supported for compatibility reasons.
(none)	--BackupRetainUnits	Defines unit type for BackupRetain argument. Allowed values: hour / day / week / month / year. Note: Month = 30 days, Year = 365 days
-c	--BackupExpiration	Specifies the date using one of the following formats: YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS where YYYY—4-digit year MM—2-digit month DD—2-digit day of the month HH—2-digit hour using the local 24-hour clock MM—2-digit minute SS—2-digit second To be eligible for cleanup, the full or differential backup must be older than this date.
-C	--CopyOnlyBackups	Controls how LiteSpeed handles copy-only backups. This argument accepts one of the following values: Default—LiteSpeed will ignore copy-only backups except on secondary replicas in AlwaysOn Availability groups, in which case it will allow deletions. This is the default behavior when the parameter is not specified. Ignore—Copy-only backups are never deleted. AllowDeletes—Copy-only backups are removed according to the specified retention options. NOTES: Transaction log backups are not considered dependent on copy-only full or copy-only tlog backups. Copy-only transaction log backups will not mark other transaction log or full backups as having a dependent. The values are not case-sensitive.
-D	--Database	Name of database to be backed up or restored. Only backups of this database are eligible for cleanup.
(none)	--Destination	Specifies the instance of the destination server to cleanup.
-d	--DryRun	Displays backups that are to be removed (delete candidates) or kept according to the specified conditions and SmartCleanup logic. SmartCleanup does not remove any backups, if this parameter is specified.
-k	--LogExpiration	Specifies the date of one of the following formats: YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS where YYYY—4-digit year MM—2-digit month DD—2-digit day of the month HH—2-digit hour using the local 24-hour clock MM—2-digit minute SS—2-digit second To be eligible for cleanup, the t-log backup must be older than this date.
-L	--LogLevel	Creates a log file. This argument accepts one of the following values: 0—Logging off. 1 or any odd value—Logging on. Log file is removed on success. 2 or any even value—Logging on. The default output directory is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs (or C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs) (or C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs). To log to a different directory run this utility with the following argument: --trace logpath = "path". For more information, see Configure Logging in LiteSpeed.
-l	--LogRetain	Specifies the number of units (N). The t-log backup must be at least N units old before it is eligible for cleanup. See also LogRetainUnits for unit types details Note: Old argument @LogRetainDays is still supported for compatibility reasons.
(none)	--LogRetainUnits	Defines unit type for LogRetain argument. Allowed values: hour / day / week / month / year. Note: Month = 30 days, Year = 365 days
(none)	--MultiDatabaseType	Produces a cleanup for several types of databases. Types can include: all, system, user, or selected databases. This argument accepts one of the following values: All - Cleanup backups for all system and user databases. System - Cleanup backups for only system databases. User - Cleanup backups for only user databases. Selected - Cleanup backups for specifically selected databases.
(none)	--ReviewAllBackups	Specifies Smart Cleanup behavior for searching backups to delete 0 - Save last deleted backup ID and start check backups from this backup next time (default). 1 - Review all backups from MSDB backups history (takes more time)
(none)	--Locations	Defines locations (spread by semicolon symbol) to apply cleanup policy. Disk: “F:\\Backups; F:\\mirrors” Cloud folders: "fff\; test123\"
