The following table describes the labels in this screen.

 

Purge Policy

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.

the same time, then one must wait until the other finishes running.

Time
