Not sure what we are missing to purge...We even tried the following

** ./ec2-automate-backup -r "us-west-2" -s tag -t "Backup,Values=true" -k 1 -p -h > /data/scripts/ec2-automate-backup.log
**

Your first sample script did not contain the -p flag, but I see that you included it in second sample script. What does the ec2-automate-backup.log contain after you run the second script?

Thanks for the response.

If you run the script this way it seems to work via cron.

/data/scripts/ec2-automate-backup.sh -r "us-west-2" -s tag -t "Backup,Values=true" -k 5 -p -h > /data/scripts/ec2-automate-backup.log

This deleted shapshots from March 24th. I do have snapshots that are from March 8th - March 16th that didn't get deleted. Any ideas

The following are the tags for the ones that didn't get deleted.

Glad you got things working.

For the snapshots that were not deleted, they won't be deleted until after 9 April 2016. The value 1460166301 assigned to PurgeAfterFE is a UNIX time stamp and it represents 9 April 2016.
