NO OF BACK UPS NOT LIMITING IN RECKON 2023 PREMIER

Tilley

HI COMMUNITY,

SINCE THE UPGRADE, NO MATTER WHICH OPTIONS I CHOOSE IN THE BACK UP WINDOW RECKON IS SIMPLY SAVING A BACK UP AND NOT LIMITING THE NUMBER OF BACK UPS.

ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS, ANY HELP

Are you finding this good or Bad?

Hi Gerry,

it is not a good thing for us as we back up to a usb chip as well as a 2nd hard drive in case of computer failure or fire etc. Our file is large - over 15 years worth of data. We used to limit it to 3 or 5 but the usb fills up after about 10 back ups and its only when the back up fails due to no space that we notice, time consuming that's all. if its been changed why still have the option in the back up window limiting the number of back ups?

if its bug then I thought others may have experienced this? Maybe its something Im doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Tilley

You may just need to reselect this option as a new installation/upgrade can sometimes drop out prior preference selections.

When making the backup, have you clicked into Options & checked/updated the selection here:

Hi @Tilley,

I am just completing a follow up in regard to the issue, you are currently experiencing.

Did the suggestion by Shaz work in this instance? If not please divert back to me and tag me in your next comment.

Thank you and speak soon.

Cheers,

My file is deleting the old backups, but oddly the box to tick ‘add date and time and delete old backups’ is ticked but greyed out so even if I wanted to I couldn’t untick them
