⁠Backkeep

Backkeep cleans backups from a directory so that:

• at least a specified amount of backups are kept
• kept backups are not older than a specified amount of days

Backkeep requires your backups to include a date and an optional time in their filename.

⁠Installation

⁠Usage

• backkeep list: lists all backups having a valid date in their filename
• backkeep keep: lists all backups which are not to be deleted
• backkeep diff: lists all backups which are deleted by backkeep remove
• backkeep remove: removes all outdated backups

⁠Options

• --directory /backup/postgres: specifies the directory to work on (default: current directory)
• --keep 10: number of days to keep backups. In this example, all backups older than 10 days are deleted.
