I wrote this basic VBScript sample to delete old .bak files from a particular folder if its older than X number of days.
'============================== 'Remove old backups 'http://gordondurgha.com '============================= 'Definitions iDaysOld = 3 strExtension = ".bak" sDirectoryPath = "D:\MSSQL\Backups\" Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sDirectoryPath) Set oFileCollection = oFolder.Files 'Walk through each file in this folder collection. For each oFile in oFileCollection If oFile.DateLastModified < (Date() - iDaysOld) Then If Right(UCase(oFile.Name), Len(strExtension)) = UCase(strExtension) Then oFile.Delete(True) End If End If Next 'Clean up Set oFSO = Nothing Set oFolder = Nothing Set oFileCollection = Nothing Set oFile = Nothing
