Older cloud backups disappearing

[TimC]

I do apologise if this is such a basic question but I cannot figure out what I have done wrong

I have a backup of files that I use constantly, totalling about 120Mb. I have FBackup zip them and add a date prefix, then the zipped file is sent off to my 2Tb DropBox account at 10pm daily. It arrives in the designated DropBox folder without incident. There is well over 1Tb free space remaining in my DropBox account.

What I needed was an accumulation of these backups in the DropBox folder, saving each day's uniquely-named backup forever. I am assuming that the date prefix is making each backup's name unique.

What is happening is the latest backup arrives and the previous backup is sent to the DropBox recycle bin for auto-deletion after 30 days. DropBox customer support suggest that I have a setting wrong in FBackup but I cannot find the setting that I need.

Can anyone help please ?

Hi,

With FBackup, you can keep only 1 backup version in destination.
If you want to keep multiple backup versions, please use our commercial edition: Backup4all.

Hi,

It seems to be a cache issue.
Please refresh the page now.

Given the context of the backup issue with FBackup and DropBox, why do you think the default setting in FBackup allows only one backup version to be stored?
Thank you!

Hi,

FBackup has a limited number of features.
Our commercial version "Backup4all" has all features included, allowing you to keep unlimited backup versions.
