Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Backup 1.4.1 and later.
CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows backup and restore that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage. CloudBerry Lab team is gradually improving the program and with this release we are adding a highly demanded option to automate deletion of the files from S3 storage. In the previous release it was not possible to delete the file from backup storage if they were deleted locally. This situation may arise when for instance you are reorganizing your local disk and moving files around.
In the newer release we have added an option to delete files if they were deleted locally. This option is available on the Purge options step of the Backup Plan Wizard and it is off by default.
Please use this option carefully as they files will be deleted permanently and there will be no way to restore them.
CloudBerry Backup is a Windows program that leverages Amazon S3 storage. You can download it at http://cloudberrydrive.com/ . It comes with onetime fee of $29.99 (US) per copy.

How do we delete local files only after a backup? Essentially I am moving files from local to S3, not making a copy of them. Thx
Hi Chris,
sorry, this use case is not implemented. we don't want to take the responsibility for someone accidentally to delete the files and they fail to copy to the cloud storage. You can probably use CloudBerry Explorer freeware to move the files instead of copying at your own risk. you can even schedule the move.
Thank
Andy
