App PasswordSmart Storage Retention
Automated cleanup keeps your Nextcloud lean. You set the rules it handles the rest.
Auto CleanupSelf-hosted storage isn't unlimited. Our built-in retention algorithm automatically scans your Nextcloud folder and purges outdated backups based on count or age thresholds you define.
|
01
|
Count-based or age-based cleanup
Keep only the last
$X$ backups, or retain backups for $X$ days or disable cleanup for permanent
archiving.
|
|
02

Separate rules for Auto vs. Manual
Configure independent
retention policies for scheduled and on-demand backups.
|
|

Prevents storage quota errors

full" blocks only keep exactly what you need.
