Description Michael Grandjean

The cronjob that runs the cleanup is too verbose and spammy. It generates a cronmail even on success, which is quite annoying.

I guess this line here:

> find "$backup_dir" -type f -mtime "+$max_age" -regex "$pattern" -delete

should become something like:

> find "$backup_dir" -type f -mtime "+$max_age" -regex "$pattern" -delete > /dev/null

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #38554 +++

It would be nice to be able to limit the max amount of days for the nightly backup scripts - for example with the help of UCR.
Otherwise you have tons of unqiue backup variants underneath /var/univention-backup for the last 100xxx days.
