Old backups are not deleted

Hi guys,
I find out that if you use DMP and change the backup path from default and
set the settings to delete old backup , say after 3 days, it doesnt really
delete them. IS it a bug? Is there any fix for it? It happens in SQL2000 as
well as in SQL2005
TIAWait one more day, you need to check the clock it will delte it on the 4th
day only. We are also using DMP and specified "Use This Directory",
Remove files older that 3 days , and provided "backup file extension" as
"BAK" same as i provided for backup's... You have not mentioned that in you
r
configuration list. Try "backup file extension" and see. Let me know if it
works? Check MSSQL/ErrorLog also and see if there is something unusal.
Thanks,
Sree
