How many versions of my backed up files are held offsite? How many versions of my backed up files are held offsite?

The number of versions is a parameter that the system administrator can set. Unlike a tape backup, where the routine is to rotate tapes in a cycle, Dakota Backup will only back up a new version of a file when it changes, guaranteeing that the customer is not wasting space backing up exactly the same version more than once. The number of versions stored can be configured on an individual backup item basis. By default, each backup item stores 30 versions, if applicable. Each backup set can be configured down to include just one file if desired, giving you the ability to maximize the efficiency of the storage.
