Learn more about Automatic Backup Management
Daily backups of all your home computers accumulate on your home server over time. To help you manage these backups, Windows® Home Server provides Automatic Backup Management.
With Automatic Backup Management, you can configure how many backups to keep for all your home computers. To configure how many backups to keep, set the number of months to keep the first backup of the month, the number of weeks to keep the first backup of the week, and the number of days to keep the first backup of the day.
Note
If you stop backing up a home computer, Windows Home Server continues to apply the automatic backup management settings for your home-computer backups. For example, assume your Automatic Backup Management settings are set for 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months. If you stop backing up a home computer, Windows Home Server continues to keep the last three daily backups, the last three weekly backups, and the last three monthly backups for that computer.
