Description

Hi, it seems like the backup copies are limitless, how can we specify a number to keep? i can't imagine having thousand copies of my 2Mo wiki (first because it's useless and second because it's incompatible with a cloud backup)

thanks

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the backup creation and retention logic in the desktop application, then determine where a configurable keep-count belongs. Done means users can specify how many backup copies to retain and older copies no longer accumulate indefinitely.
