Title: Number of Backup JRiver
Post by: jackd7630 on June 14, 2016, 10:30:52 pm

Hi

Is there a parameter to limit the number of backup jriver ? I have currently 20 ( MC Library Backup (Main Library - YYYY-MM-DD).zip and 5 MC Library Backup (Main Library - Month) .
It takes a lot of space on my disk.
Could be added one options to limit the number of backup?
Thank you in advance

I'm just curious. How big is one of your backups?

In my case, having over 65000 audio files, it amounts to about 4 MB. Surely that is no space waster and no reason to skimp on security.

It is not the size of .zip  that is a problem, it is the number of save file. And i don't see or I can act within the parameters

You will always have one file for each month you have used a particular version of MC, plus up to ten files for the current and previous months.

So if you had 15 years of library backups on the one version of MC, you would have about 200 files, and 1GB of data. Not worth worrying about.

There are no parameters to change this arrangement. You could use an external tool to delete old backups if you wished, and even automate it.
