Setting the Number of Days to Keep Daily Backups

By default, Theatre Manager daily backup files are typically saved for 30-60 days before they are deleted. You may wish to make this time shorter or longer and can do so in the backupTM file.

Setting the Number of Days to Keep Daily Backups

1. Locate the backupTm file.
   On a Mac, the file is typically stored in /Users/Shared/backupTM.php.
   On a PC, the file is typically stored in C:/BoxOffice/BackupTM.bat
2. Open the file with a text editing program like TextEdit or NotePad.
3. Find the line in the file "$KeepFilesFor".
4. Change the value to indicate how many days the backup should be saved.
   Example:"$KeepFilesFor = 15" will keep the files for 15 days. After a backup file is 15 days old, it will be deleted.
5. Save the changes made to the backupTM file.
