LiteSpeed for SQL Server 8.8 - 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).

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)

  • 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 --BackupRetainDays

Specifies the number of days (N). The full or differential backup must be at least N days old before it is eligible for cleanup.

-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 --LogRetainDays

Specifies the number of days (N). The t-log backup must be at least N days old before it is eligible for cleanup.

(none) --MultiDatabaseType

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.
-S --Server

Specifies the instance of Microsoft SQL Server to connect to. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  3. Delete tsm log backups older than 2 days:

  4. Delete full, differential and log TSM backups created before 06/15/2012, using the PASSWORDAccess generate option to connect to the TSM Server:

    SLSSmartCleanup.exe --Database test_tsm --TSMConfigFile "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm_gp.opt" --BackupExpiration 2012-06-15 --LogExpiration 2012-06-15 --WindowsAuth

  5. Delete Amazon S3 cloud backup.

    TIP: The parameter “-CSecretKey” must be generated by the Maintenance plan wizard and cut\paste into the command line script.
