Re: Question regarding automated backup process

Thank you so much for the detailed reply.
First off the details of the system. It's hosted in house, version 3.9 with Mysql 8 and Php 7.4. RAM is 45G/96G.

Okay now the real reason I asked the question in the first post is that I've successfully implemented an NFS drive via another VM and paired it to our test server. The automated backup worked like a charm and I'm sure it will work again if I implement it in production.

Now the problem in production is that I've setup a cron job running every hour to delete /temp/backup/* because we're running out of space and I'm trying to squeeze every bit of space there is to squeeze. Running this cron job deletes all the failed backups (if there is one) every hour. But I found out that this band-aid solution created more problems because the automated backup process needs /temp/backup to compile the .mbz before storing it to a specified directory.

I want to stop running this cron job and send the backups to the NFS, problem is if there are going to be temporary duplicates, and you've mentioned that there are going to be. How can I delete the duplicate backups ASAP knowing that the course has already been successfully stored into the NFS?
