Configuring how long backup files are stored
After the first backup process has run, optionally use a text editor to edit the WebsenseBackup.cfg file, created with the backup archive, as follows:
- Specify a numeric value for the KeepDays parameter, which sets the number of days archive files remain in the backup directory (365, by default).
When a file is older than the specified time period, it is deleted automatically.
- Specify a numeric value for the KeepSize parameter, which sets the maximum number of bytes allotted for backup files (10857600, by default).
When the backup directory reaches the specified size limit, the oldest backup file is deleted automatically.
