Does anyone know if there is a way of limiting the space that Windows 7 backup will use on a network drive. At the moment it seems to do a combination of full and incremental backups which is fine but without any limits. I’ve done all the usual reading and googling but I can’t find any hard facts anywhere :(. I know that it is possible to remove older backups from the GUI but I would prefer that is was automatic.
So two questions in case anyone here knows:
a. Is there a registry setting you can use to limit the number of full backups Win 7 makes so it removes the oldest ones
b. If I put a limit on the space available on the network drive does Win 7 see that and then remove the oldest backups
I could just experiment and see but I thought I would ask the source of all wisdom first 🙂
