The keep min backups is for the auto delete. Lets say you leave for a while and a backup isnt done for a long time, when you get back every backup is past the age to delete them. So when you do a backup they all get removed. With the min to keep it will delete all of them except the number you set there.

There have been a few people confused by this new setting. I need to word it differently. How do you think I should word it so you would better understand that setting?

How about:   Delete all backups that are x days or older except for the x most recent backups.
Or:   Delete all backups except for the x most recent backups.

Then again, there is a very good chance that I am still not rightly understanding it - wouldn't be the first time.  :thinking:

PS) In your next update, please remember to include the UI change. Thanks.

Shane:
