BACKING UP YOUR COMPUTER FILES – 22
Specifying the Number of Backup Versions. The WD SmartWare software enables
you to keep up to 25 older versions of each file. If you overwrite or delete a file by
accident, or want to see the file a couple of versions ago, the WD SmartWare software
has a copy for you.
You will always have the most-recent specified number of versions of each file available
for retrieves, and you can choose to keep between 1 and 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 11), click File History to display the Set
File History dialog:
2. Specify the number of file versions that you want to keep (from 1 to 25) in the Enter
the number of backup versions to keep for each file box.
3. Click Apply to save and implement the new number of backup versions.
