Specify the maximum number of backup files to be stored in the selected repository. Once the limit has been reached, the oldest backup is deleted for a new backup. The value 0 or no entry in this field means no limit.

Please note that this can lead to a complete usage of the available hard disk space.

Note, however, that you cannot restore the backup without this password!
