If it is network location, you must specify access right by inputting password and username. Delete old image files For a long-term plan which will perform backup frequently, it will be very space-consuming with all images reserved. It's troublesome to delete previous image files manually at a regular time to release disk space, and it might cause some unexpected troubles. We provide two kinds of automatic existing images cleanup rules to help users solve this problem. - 27 - Official website: http://www.todo-backup.com
Preserve no more than X version(s): Backup version is the result of one backup operation. Physically, it may be one single file or a set of files when you specify image split for this operation. A backup version can be also considered as a copy of the backed up data. After specifying this attribute to a schedule, our product will automatically create full images at regular intervals. After the full image created, our product will detect all previous images, and ensure the recent X versions' images can be recovered, then delete all the images which have exceeded the limitation. This method applies to the schedules which need to be executed in a higher frequency. It will be much easier to manage the old images based on versions rather than days in this situation. Preserve backup images of the last X day(s): Specifying X days to preserve images, our product will still create full images at regular intervals, and then delete all the images which have exceeded the time limit with this rules adopted. Tips: The day(s) which have no image file generated will be not included in the preserved days. Preserve the first image: Click ON to preserve the first image or click off to delete it according to the mechanism. - 28 - Official website: http://www.todo-backup.com
