I'm using your 'Backup EC2 Instance' job type to do daily backups of my instances and on these jobs I also make use of the 'Copy to region' feature for DR purposes.
I've set GFS 'Delete after' values for these jobs and was expecting the snapshots to be cleaned up in both the originating and 'copy to' regions. However today I notice they haven't been getting deleted in the 'copy to' region which is unexpected?
I think AutomatiCloud should be able to clean up these copied snapshots also. Otherwise users will need to periodically delete these manually.

Hi Stephan,
Following your reply above I upgraded to 3.3.820 and cleaned up all the old snapshots in my 'copy to region'. I've then been running daily backups for over a month to test it as I have the job set to 'Delete after 30 days'. However I just checked it and see that old snapshots are not being deleted at all? Is this still a bug?
Regards,
Chris
