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.
On the Software Settings screen (see Figure 8), click Set File History to display the
Set File History dialog:
2.
Use the selection box to specify the number of file versions that you want to keep,
from 1 to 25.
