In general, certain embodiments described herein relate to a method for managing and deletion of audit trail files on a database created by a backup system. The method includes setting up a retention policy for backup system audit trail files. The audit trail files include the backup system audit trail files and other audit trail files. After setting up the retention policy, the method includes making a first determination that a first audit trail file is a backup system audit trail file, making a second determination, based on the first determination, that an age of the first audit trail file is passed a time period specified in the retention policy, and making a third determination, based on the second determination, that no retention policy exclusion applies to the first audit trail file. Finally based on the third determination, the first audit trail file is deleted from the database.
