For Local Backups, you can specify a limit to the number of backup files that can be stored on your appliance. When the number of backup files on your appliance reaches the specified limit, you need to delete old backups to continue performing local backups.
Note
By default, the maximum number of backup files that can be stored on your appliance is 25.
Go to CLI configuration mode:
hostname > enable hostname # configure terminal
(Optional) To view the details of local backup files such as count and file names:
hostname (config) # show backup available local list
Specify the maximum number of backup files that can be stored on your appliance.
hostname (config) # backup limit <max-number-of-backups-allowed>
After the backup count on the appliance reaches the limit, you need to delete the old backups to make space for the new backups. For information on deleting backup files, see Deleting previous backup files using the CLI .
(Optional) To reset the custom backup limit to the default value:
hostname (config) # backup reset maxcount
