Re: Only 10 copies to keep

Not available as a function in the software (too many storage and name permutations available means too complex / too great a risk of deleting the wrong thing). You could leverage a Variable* in a wrapping folder-name, to segregate the Zips. If you used a cycling Variable such as %DAYOFWEEK%, this would re-use the original folder(s) in turn. There is an option to delete the contents first if you need it, otherwise it would refresh any Zip of the same name, or store a Zip with a different name 'next to it'.

If you use a non-cycling Variable (e.g. %DATE%) you'd need to write a script and run it c/o Programs-Before (or After) to delete surplus files if/when they exist. This is the same process you'd need to use if you stored all backups (assuming they have unique names already) in a static location.


* There''s no built-in Variable that cycles from 1 to 10 (they're all calendar-based), but there's an installable script in the Pro program folder (IncVarEx.vbs) that cycles from 1 to 12 by default, and which can be configured after install to max at 10. You'd need to make a copy of the script under a new name (otherwise any later program update will overwrite it with a copy with factory-default values), install in the program under that name, set your profile to use it, and configure the script via the new settings page such a profile will 'grow', and use the Variable-name you set it to use in your profile's Destination
