Hi. Thanks for the great software.

When versioning is enabled, Is there any way to limit the number of versions
that are stored? Or perhaps to automatically delete versions that are X days
old?

I'm using your software as a failsafe in case certain files get corrupted. In
the past, the corrupted file automatically overwrote the backup leaving me
with two copies of a damaged file (this was using other backup software).
Versioning would protect against this but would eventually cause disk space
problems. Ideally, if a file gets corrupted again, I'd like to see versions of
that file from the last month.

Thanks again!

Currently there is no way to limit the total size of old file versions.
"recylce bin" can often be used to get this effect, although it's not evident,
what files it deletes first if it is full. Right now it is not clear to me how
the design space of "limit versions" really looks like and how it is best
modelled. But eventually there will be some kind of support:
