Version Range

Each time Data Protector Express backs up a file, it creates a new version of that file.
For example, a file named Expense Account Reporting Form may have been backed up several times
during the previous months and years. Typically, each version of the file is stored on the different media of a
backup job. Data Protector Express tracks each version of a file separately in its catalog.
You can use this filter to instruct Data Protector Express to not back up files for which you already have
multiple versions.
For example, you may not want any more than three versions of a particular file backed up. When you set
the Range type to At most and Maximum versions to "3", Data Protector Express only backs up those files
with less than three versions.
CAUTION:
Having several versions of a file does not ensure that the versions you have reflect the latest changes to the
file. It may have been modified after the last time you backed it up. If so, the latest backed up version
may not represent the file's current form.
To specify a filter that selects files according to their number of versions, click on the Browse button
next to the Version range field and then select the appropriate criteria in the Versions Range window
that appears.
