DESCRIPTION

Bandwidth

For backups to a remote NSA, you can restrict the bandwidth to help prevent the

 

backups from using all of your network connection’s available bandwidth. This is more

 

important when backing up to a remote NSA or computer through the Internet.

 

 

Purge Policy

The NSA maintains the files that have been included in your backups. However to save

 

hard disk space, you can choose to delete files that have been included in previous

 

backups.

 

• Select Keep All Old Backup files to store all files that have been included in

 

previous backups.

 

• If you want to store a certain number of backup files, select Keep Only the last n

 

backup files (1-30). Enter a value (n) from 1 to 30 to specify how many backups

 

the NSA stores. All backup files older than the last one are deleted. You will not be

 

able to recover files that existed (only) in those previous backups. Select this if

 

backup space is limited and recovery of old files is not important.

 

• If you want to store all backups for a certain time period, select Keep Backups for

 

n day(s)(1-3650). Enter a value (n) from 1 to 3650 to specify how many days the

 

NSA stores all backup files. After this day has expired, all backup files will be

 

deleted.
