SQL BAckup Log Files not getting deleted

Hi

I have a problem with our sql backup config that exists on our cluster.

running version 6.4.0.56

I go and set the Server Options (from the GUI, right click on the server and select Options.) Then under file management I check "Delete log files in this folder" and set a value of say 14 days and also check the "Delete log files in LOGTO folders"

I then click OK and hopefully that should be that. but if I then go back to the options tab, all my changes have been undone and the delete options are left unchecked.

This is a problem as I happen to look at the log folder for one of my instances and there were over 150,000 log files in there.

I did check the registry and the permissions for that tree seem fine.

any ideas?

    Are you using a 64-bit OS? If so, are the 'correct' registry settings currently in 'HKLM\Software\Red Gate\SQL Backup\BackupSettingsGlobal\<instance name>' or HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Red Gate\SQL Backup\BackupSettingsGlobal\<instance name>'?

    Thanks.
