    and restart VRTSpbx (including NetBackup). At midnight, the RollOver happened leaving only 5 log files in the folder.

Try swapping the date format round, so '05/12/2021/

From my test server

$ vxlogmgr --del -p 50936 -e '23/11/2021 11:59:59 PM'

Following are the files that were found:

/var/log/VRTSpbx/50936-103-533729034-211029-0000000008.log
/var/log/VRTSpbx/50936-103-533729034-211029-0000000009.log
