None of the backups show the date and time. We only display the date. We can make the change, but it will affect all backup records. Moreover, the time will ALWAYS be in GMT timezone. This was confusing most clients, that's why we removed the time from that column.

I am adding a new component parameter for the date format. You will now be able to define your custom format for that column.

Thank you.

command line triggered backups does not delete jpaon remote storage like dropbox.
also when doing a BE backup it does not delete dropbox backups more than 10.

As far as I can see:
DEBUG |140422 10:26:13|AECoreDomainFinalization::_run() Running built-in method apply_remote_quotas

DEBUG |140422 10:26:13|Applying remote file quotas

DEBUG |140422 10:26:13|No remote files to apply quotas to were found

You have not set up any quotas on this backup profile OR the quotas are not satisfied. Please remember that quotas are applied per backup profile and only for the backup archives Akeeba Backup knows about (the ones shown in the Manage Backups page). I will give you some cases where remote quotas are not applied:

1. You have two backup profiles, both have a quota of 10 files. There are 5 backups with profile #1 and 6 backups with profile #2. Backing up your site with either profile will not result in the quotas being triggered as neither profile has more than 10 backups.

2. You have set a quota of 10 backup archives but you have set an obsolete record quota of 5 items. In this case Akeeba Backup will NEVER know that there are more than 5 backup archives in Dropbox as you have told to remove its older records from the database.

3. You have set a time-based quota to keep the last 30 backups and the backup from the 1st of each month. In this case all other quotas (including the "keep only 10 backups" count quota) are ignored.
