Enter the number of version of each documents in your backups you want to keep.
In other words, If save a document and make changes to it the next day, assuming you do a daily backup,
the software will save those changes and that will be considered version 2.
When you make your 6th change, (assuming you changed it once every day), the first version of the document will be deleted, but you will have versions 2 through 6.
Keep in mind that versions are only determined by the frequency of your backups. In other words, if you have your backups schedule to run once a day, but made changes 6 times to a document in one day, it will only backup the last changes you made before schedule runs. You will not be able to restore the others, since the software did not run a backup between those changes.

When done, Click 'Next'
