I am having exactly the same issue. However I dont want to set that option to remove the Old Backup History (I need to keep the history for compliance reasons). I can wait over 30 minutes for the activity history for a given server/database to be displayed.
I have a second issue (that I imagine is related). When I want to restore a backup and I use the "Select from backup history" option, it will take several hours (!!) to display the history for a given database.
My backup schedule for all of my databases (aside from the system DBs which only have daily FULLs) is :
Daily FULL
Daily DIFF (at a 12 hour interval different from the FULL)
30 minute LOG
This problem is making the UI for restoration based on backup history effectivelyt unusable for me. And not being able to see the backup history from the console (unless I wait the 30 mins +) is also annoying.
