00:00:07.663 --> 00:00:09.663
Now that you are able

2
00:00:09.710 --> 00:00:12.656
using Akeeba Backup to take regular backups

3
00:00:12.911 --> 00:00:14.911
it's useful to know about the quota management

4
00:00:14.911 --> 00:00:16.911
that Akeeba Backup offers.

5
00:00:18.409 --> 00:00:20.409
This is especially useful

6
00:00:20.409 --> 00:00:22.409
if you have limited disk space.

7
00:00:24.027 --> 00:00:26.697
Quota management applies to the profile

8
00:00:26.697 --> 00:00:28.697
and only to the backups taken

9
00:00:28.697 --> 00:00:32.489
with that profile and not to all backups.

10
00:00:33.928 --> 00:00:35.928
Select the profile that you wish to use

11
00:00:35.928 --> 00:00:38.215
and click on configuration.

12
00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:42.835
Here you can see a reminder

13
00:00:42.835 --> 00:00:44.835
of which profile that it is which you are using.

14
00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:48.259
If you scroll down until you

15
00:00:48.259 --> 00:00:50.259
reach quota management

16
00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:52.259
there are several different options available.

17
00:00:54.207 --> 00:00:56.825
If you hover over any text on the left

18
00:00:56.825 --> 00:00:58.825
you will get a popup explaining

19
00:00:58.825 --> 00:01:00.825
what each option provides.

20
00:01:02.923 --> 00:01:04.923
Once a backup file is removed

21
00:01:04.923 --> 00:01:06.923
by the quota management

22
00:01:06.923 --> 00:01:08.923
the record that a backup took place

23
00:01:08.923 --> 00:01:10.923
will still exist.

24
00:01:11.837 --> 00:01:13.837
This field here sets the maximum 

25
00:01:13.837 --> 00:01:15.837
number of obsolete records

26
00:01:15.837 --> 00:01:17.298
to keep.

27
00:01:17.582 --> 00:01:19.582
In other words records

28
00:01:19.582 --> 00:01:21.582
of backups that took place

29
00:01:21.582 --> 00:01:23.582
where the backup file has been removed

30
00:01:23.582 --> 00:01:25.582
by the quota management.

31
00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:29.740
If you enable the size quota

32
00:01:29.740 --> 00:01:31.740
you can then set the quota

33
00:01:31.740 --> 00:01:33.740
in megabytes of the ammount of disk

34
00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:35.740
space you want to use for your backups.

35
00:01:37.059 --> 00:01:39.059
For example if I choose

36
00:01:39.059 --> 00:01:41.059
256 that

37
00:01:41.059 --> 00:01:43.059
will mean that once I freach two hundred

38
00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:45.059
and fifty six megabytes of backup files

39
00:01:45.059 --> 00:01:47.059
the older ones

40
00:01:47.059 --> 00:01:49.059
will be removed to provide space

41
00:01:49.059 --> 00:01:51.059
for the newer ones.

42
00:01:53.157 --> 00:01:54.823
You may also choose to enable the

43
00:01:54.823 --> 00:01:56.823
count quota.

44
00:01:56.823 --> 00:01:58.823
The count quota will keep a

45
00:01:58.823 --> 00:02:00.823
specified number of backups.

46
00:02:00.823 --> 00:02:02.823
As you can see

47
00:02:02.823 --> 00:02:04.823
you can choose a predefined number

48
00:02:04.823 --> 00:02:06.823
or enter your own here.

49
00:02:08.381 --> 00:02:10.381
By selecting both size and

50
00:02:10.381 --> 00:02:12.381
count quotas

51
00:02:12.381 --> 00:02:14.381
you can ensure that your count

52
00:02:14.381 --> 00:02:17.300
does not take you over your disk space limit.

53
00:02:19.023 --> 00:02:21.670
Finally, save and close

54
00:02:21.670 --> 00:02:23.670
to save the configuration

55
00:02:24.524 --> 00:02:26.524
and repeat for any other

56
00:02:26.524 --> 00:02:28.524
profiles that you may have.
