Limiting the number of file versions to keep

You can manage your file and folder backup data by limiting the number of versions of backup files that you keep. This kind of maintenance can significantly reduce the amount of disk space that is required, especially if the file size is large.

To limit the number of file versions to keep

  1. On the Tasks menu, click Manage Backup Destination.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Select Limit file versions for file and folder backups, and then type a number between 1 and 99.

  4. You can also select Monitor disk space usage for backup storage. Then you can specify a limit to the total amount of disk space that can be used.

    See Automating the management of backup data.

  5. Click OK.

See About managing file and folder backup data.
