been using the plugin for a while. Just wondering if there’s an easy way to limit how many local backups are kept before the old ones get deleted? I don’t wanna max out my server storage. Hi there, In the Settings tab under ‘Show expert settings’ you will find the option ‘Delete local backups’. When this is activated and a retention number is specified old backups are deleted accordingly. The retention number in settings means new backups will push out old, both local and remote. The number is located in the schedule settings. Remember to click Save Changes after changes. Best regards, Nick
