== What is the Backup Purge? ==
The Backup Purge is a cleanup operation that removes from the Backup Path any deleted item which exceeded the retention time defined by the "Data Retention Policy".
 
== How does it work? ==
The Purge engine scans through the metadata of all deleted items, and removes any item whose last update (deletion) timestamp is higher than the retention time.
 
Should an item BLOB still be referenced by one or more valid metadata files - due to Zimbra NG Backup's built-in deduplication - the BLOB itself will not be deleted.
 
Zimbra Next Generation Modules comes with Postfix Customizations backed up by Zimbra NG Backup also follow the backup path's purge policies: this can be changed in the "Zimbra NG Backup" section of the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Administration Zimlet by unchecking the "Purge old customizations" checkbox.
 
== When is a Backup Purge executed? ==
* Weekly, if the Scan Operation Scheduling is enabled in the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Administration Zimlet.
* When manually started either via the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Administration Console or the Zimbra Next Generation Modules CLI.
 
== "Infinite" retention ==
Should the "Data Retention Policy" be set to "0", meaning infinite retention, the Backup Purge will immediately exit since no deleted item will ever exceed the retention time.
 
== Running a Backup Purge ==
=== Starting the Backup Purge via the Zimbra Next Generation Modules Administration Zimlet ===
 
* Click the Zimbra NG Backup tab (be sure to have a valid [[Zimbra_Next_Generation_Modules/License Management|License]]).
 
* Click the "Run Purge" button on the top-right part of the UI.
