Specifying the Number of Backup Versions
The WD SmartWare software can keep up to 25 older versions of each file. If you
overwrite or delete a file by mistake, or want to see the file a couple of versions ago, the
WD SmartWare software has a copy for you. You always have the most-recent specified
number of versions of each file available for retrieves, and you can choose to keep from
1 to 25 versions.
Keeping more versions:
• Improves your ability to retrieve files from a longer back-in-time period
• Consumes more disk space
To specify the number of backup versions that you want to keep for each file:
1.
Click the Settings tab and Set Up Software to display the Software Settings screen
(see Figure 4 on page 13).
2. On the Software Settings screen, click File History to display the Set File History
dialog:
3. On the Set File History dialog:
a. Use the selection box to specify the number of backup versions that you want to
keep for each file, from 1 to 25.
b. Click Apply.
