Purge Policy The NAS maintains the files that have been included in your backups. However to save hard
disk space, you can choose to delete files that have been included in previous backups.
• Select Keep all old backup files to store all files that have been included in previous
backups.
• If you want to store a certain number of backup files, select Keep the last n backup(s).
Enter a value (n) from 1 to 30 to specify how many backups the NAS stores. 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.
• If you want to store all backups for a certain time period, select Keep old backups for n
day(s). Enter a value (n) from 1 to 3650 to specify how many days the NAS stores all
backup files. After this day has expired, all backup files will be deleted.
