NetVault Backup historical reports (4042392)

NetVault Backup retains details of all reports that are produced, so that these reports can be recalled at any time.

Retained reports details are kept in the [nvhome]\reports\produced directory and take the following form, one set for each day:
[YYYYMMDD].lck
[YYYYMMDD]\
[YYYYMMDD]\control
[YYYYMMDD]\records
[YYYYMMDD]\control\[reportfile a]
[YYYYMMDD]\control\[reportfile b]
[YYYYMMDD]\records\[reportfile a]
[YYYYMMDD]\records\[reportfile b]
etc

Over time, this can lead to a significanly high number of files and directories. If there is no need to retain these reports, then they can be deleted.

To delete a subset of report files, for example those older than 30 days, the following commands can be run.

Windows:
c:\> forfiles /D -30 /P "c:\program files (x86)\quest software\netvault backup\reports\produced" /C "cmd /c if @isdir==TRUE (rd @path /s /q) else (del @path /q)"

(replace /D -30 controls the age of the mtime to start deleting)

Linux/Unix:
# find /usr/netvault/reports/produced -mtime +30 exec rm -rf {} \;
