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.
