Set Snapper Auto Deletion for timeline snapshot

Hi All,

I am still trying to figure out about snapper timeline snapshot auto-deletion/cleanup, the KB guide or manual doesn’t have any example about it.

How do we create snapper script auto-deletion that just retains 12 hours every day?

or what is the best configuration for the snapper snapshot so it will not fill up the filesystem.

create hourly snapshots

TIMELINE_CREATE=“yes”

cleanup hourly snapshots after some time

TIMELINE_CLEANUP=“yes”

limits for timeline cleanup

TIMELINE_MIN_AGE=“1800”
TIMELINE_LIMIT_HOURLY=“5”
TIMELINE_LIMIT_DAILY=“1”
TIMELINE_LIMIT_MONTHLY=“0”
TIMELINE_LIMIT_YEARLY=“0”

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
AFAIK, timeline is activated hourly and daily via the suse.de-snapper cron jobs. Do these exist (suse.de-snapper)?
