Good to know this. I was wondering how to limit the size of backups. I tried a search, but apparently the word backup is too common! Only got here by using 'retention'! Might be a little too strict!

In my case, the websites running on my server don't change very often, so I also reduced the backup frequency to once a week, by changing the cron entry: I set Day Of Week to 1.
