@ Ivan_Groenewold,

If i want to delete the backups which is older than 5 days. Below command didn’t work. Please advise.

pbm delete-backup -f --older-than $(date -d ‘-5 days’ +%Y-%m-%d);

The problem is likely in the output of the date expression. Try printing the date first, also what is the error?

Hi Ivan_Groenewold,

It doesn’t throw any error. Its executing but not deleting anything.

[mongod@ip-xxxx pbm]$ pbm delete-backup -f --older-than $(date -d ‘-5 days’ +%Y-%m-%d);
Waiting for delete to be done …[done]
