DESCRIPTION
Select a policy for deleting archive backups. This purge runs first before a
new backup is done. For example, if you have a backup scheduled to
begin at midnight, then at that time, the NSA checks these settings and
deletes files accordingly before backup takes place. If space on the
backup NSA or disk is a concern, then configure the NSA to delete old
backups.
• Keep All Old Backup files: Purge is in effect disabled. Select this if
backup space is not a concern.
• Keep Only ___ backups: 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.
• Keep Backups for ___ day(s): Backups older than the number of
days you enter here are deleted. 0 days means that all old backups
are deleted when a new one is done.

DESCRIPTION
Select how often the job should run (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
It is recommended you schedule large backups for times when your
network is not busy, such as at night. If two events are configured to run at
the same time, then one must wait until the other finishes running.
Enter the time, day and/or month as appropriate for your selection above.
