House cleaning old backups

[kenz]

I have a backup job running every night. It runs correctly creating a folder for the backup called MM/DD. I then have a custom VBS script run afterwards that is supposed to delete any of the backups that are older than 60 days. The problem is the delete fails and I get an error message "Path not found" even though it is there and the ID that is used to execute the profile has full control. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this. Below is a portion of the log from a nightly backup.

Hi, I think you can add some "debug" commands in the vbs file, e.g. check access, who is account etc.

When the script is called from the profile what id does it run under? Is it the same that runs the profile?

Never mind I figured it out. If anyone is interested the issue was caused by the path names being to long so the delete command was failing and giving that confusing message.
