Maximum Backup Limit Setting Not Enforced
0%
Description
Issue Description:
The value set under Diagnostics > Configuration History > Configuration Backup Settings > Maximum Backups is not being enforced after changing it from the default. Despite specifying a new maximum value, the number of configuration backup files continues to grow beyond the defined limit.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to Diagnostics > Configuration History.
2. Under Configuration Backup Settings, change Maximum Backups to a new value (e.g., 32).
3. Apply the changes.
4. Begin creating new aliases.
5. After several aliases have been added, run the following command to count the backup files:
find /conf/backup -type f | wc -l
You'll notice that the number of backup files will exceed the defined limit.

It appears that the cleanup only occurs when the web UI for the configuration history is loaded. On my system, the backups directory grew very large because I had assumed they would be cleaned up automatically -- but they were only cleaned up when I attempted to open the web UI for the configuration history. In fact, the cleanup UI page hung for a very long time, until I eventually got a 502 error. When I reloaded the browser, the extra files had been cleaned up.
