Hello,
I have a active - cold backup pair of 5.4.6 hosts and I solely run LXC 
containers.
On the active host I've set up daily backups and they have been running 
fine.
The only problem is they don't rotate, i.e. old ones never get deleted.
I've tried setting "maxfiles: 25" in /etc/vzdump.conf but after last 
backup run I can see 56 files under /var/lib/vz/dump (28 .lzo + 28 .log).
I could work around this problem with a bash script but would prefer 
Proxmox to handle it.
Please advise.
Regards,
Adam
