RE: Redgate Backup - Won't Delete All Files Before Backing Up

We use the erasefiles_atstart option with a value of 40h.
This assumes we are running a daily backup (every 24 hours) and wish to always have at least 1 complete backup available on disk.

If you wish to essentially overwrite the previous backup you can simply set this value to less than your expected backup schedule.

So if you are running a daily backup, try

Code:

erasefiles_atstart = 1h
