You can specify a limit to the number of versions of each file or folder stored in

file and folder backup data.

See “Limiting the number of file versions to keep” on page 124.

To find versions of a file or folder

Open Windows Explorer.

Navigate to a file that you know is included in a file and folder backup.

Right-click the file, and then click Show Versions.

Automating management of backup data

Backup Exec System Recovery can monitor your backup storage space and notify

you when it is getting full. It can also automatically delete old recovery points

and older versions of files from file and folder backups that exceed the threshold.

If you do not specify a threshold, Backup Exec System Recovery notifies you when

the disk reaches 90percent of its total capacity.

To automate management of backup data

On the Tools page, click Manage Backup Destination.

Check Limit fileversionsforfileand folderbackups, and then type a number

between 1 and 99.

Check Monitor disk spaceusagefor backup storage, and then drag the slider

to limit the total amount of disk space that can be used for your recovery

points and your file and folder backup data.

Do one of the following:

■ Check Warn me when backup storage exceedsthreshold if you only want

to be notified when the storage size is exceeded, but you do not want any

action to be taken.

■ Check Automatically optimize storage if you want Backup Exec System

Recovery to manage the backup data automatically, without prompting

you.

If you select this option, Backup Exec System Recovery automatically

deletes the old recovery points and limits file versions to remain within

the threshold that you set.

Check Delay changes until next backup if you do not want your changes

applied until the next backup runs.

Click OK.
