This is based on code from Mike Galvin. When you copy the dirs to a network drive or so, this allows you to delete older backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a file called “Remove-old-Backups.ps1” and enter the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
##Remove previous backup folders older than the configured number of days. $Backup = \"\\\\NETWORKDRIVE\\FOLDER\\\" $History = 4 ## Location of the VM names file $VmList = \"c:\\scripts\\vms.txt\" ##If a VM list file is configured, get the content of the file. If ($VmList) { $Vms = Get-Content $VmList echo $Vms } ForEach ($Vm in $Vms) { Get-ChildItem -Path $Backup -Filter \"$Vm<\/code>-*-*-*-*-*-*\" <\/code><\/em>-Directory | Where-Object CreationTime \u2013lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-$History) | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force echo $Backup }<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
