I am having an issue in the newest version of sqlbackup where from a script the erasefiles=3 setting will not delete files. I know there is a patch for previous versions is it available for this as well.

    Hello,

    The only issues I'm aware of are that ERASEFILES is set to GMT, so there could be a 5-8 hour delay in deleting the files.

    The other issue is that if database names are > 22 characters, they do not get deleted at all.

    If the second case is true, there is a JScript on the Knowledge Base that may help by deleting files older than a certain age:
