Hi Chris,
Thanks for the quick reply. Just had a look at ERASEFILES_REMOTE option and it certainly looks promising. Not got any time now to try it out but I will try it out later.
Looks as though this may well be the answer I was looking for. I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks alot,

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the info. That will save me some time trying it out if it's not going to work.
I'll continue to investigate other options.
Thanks again,

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion. I think that SQL Backup will only allow me to effect the local copy of the backup in terms of deleting and not the network copy as I can't use the network copy functionality in SQL Backup (as this copies the file after each backup - my original problem).
Since I have the datetime appended to the file name then I can't simply overwrite what's in the network location as they will be different. So my problem is how to only keep 2 days worth of backups on the network location.
I'm sure there will be a way to do this, just need to think on it a little more.
Thanks again,

Hi Peter,
I've just had a look a the CopyTool readme and it doesn't look like there a way to remove files older than a specified date from the destination or only keep the last X number of backups (something that can be set in SQL Backup Pro).
Is there a way of doing this using the CopyTool utility? We curently append the datetime stamp onto the end our backup file names so no 2 backups are named the same so we cannot utilise the /OVERWRITE option.
If it's not possible using the CopyTool then I'll look at setting up a seperate process on the destination server to clear down the old backup files.
Many thanks,

Thanks Pete,
I'll try the suggested utility, sounds like it will do exactly what I want [image]

Hi Priya,
We are also experiencing similar problems to Scott. Intermittently the remote server login credentials will fail and return 'Monitoring stopped (Incorrect credentials or insufficent permission)', when we try and reconnect seconds later it is fine so I think your workaround will work for our scenario.
Please could you e-mail me the workaround as well?
Many thanks,
