CUCM Delete an Old Backup Example
Backup device configuration with Number of Backups set to 1 as shown in the image:
Backup directory with only 1 backup available (16 files) as shown in the image:
CUCM first starts to transfer backup files before it deletes the old backup (Reaches 32 files):
Once the backup is complete, DRS deletes the old backup to be in compliance with the number of backups to store in Network Directory (16 files):
