Cleaning up Backups

If your system administrator has configured the inbuilt Flow database backup functions then you may need to clean up old backup files. It is recommended when using the inbuilt backup functions that a secondary backup process is used to store the backup files on an external media such as tape drive or remote Internet backup service. This secondary backup process may be removing the backup files after they have been stored on the secondary media in which case you will not need to clean them up manually.

If a secondary backup process is not in place or the process is unable to automatically cleanup the files then you will need to manually delete old backups over time.

Ask you system administrator whether the backup process is cleaning up the backup files and if not ask whether it can be organised to happen automatically. If it cannot your system administrator should be able to give you access to the backup folder so that you can maintain the backups.
