Resolved plesk only keeps the last backup

[helpchrisplz]

My weekly backup is not working as expected because plesk is only keeping the files for the last backup.

Prior to this becoming a problem (but not sure if it is why): I did change my backup directory using these instructions:
https://kb.plesk.com/en/5816


When i look into my custom backup folder location (/mnt/storage/plesk_backups) with filezilla i can only see files for the last backup to run. So it is removing them.

My backup settings:

Can anyone help make it remember the old backups as i would like to have as many points to restore from as possible.

Thanks.

Hello. Could you please provide more details?
Was the backup 'Oct 29...' made before DUMP_D changing?
Did you copy content from /var/lib/psa/dumps to /mnt/storage/plesk_backups after changing DUMP_D? If you did not please try to do it by 'cp -rT /var/lib/psa/dump /mnt/storage/plesk_backups'.

Hi Sergey. Oct 29 was not made before changing the location.
I changed the location a month before Oct 29 was created.

I do have one old backup stored in the old default DUMP_D location that was created before i changed the DUMP_D location. This backup would have been created a month before the 'Oct 29...' backup.

Thanks.

Could you please provide settings from 'Scheduled Backup Settings' page (HomeTools & Settings > Backup Manager > Scheduled Backup Settings)?
Could you please try to find any errors in migration.result, migration.log, psadump.log inside /usr/local/psa/PMM/sessions/2016-10-29-0205xx.xxx/.
Could you please check pmmcli.log for actions which may leads to backup removing by following command:
grep -R -E "rotat|delete|remove" /var/log/plesk/PMM/*pmmcli*
