Make Automatic Backups Even Smarter: Storage Control!

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all doing great with RDM!

I wanted to bring up a thought about the automatic backup feature. It's a lifesaver for quickly rolling back changes and it works really well – truly simple to use.

However, for those of us who juggle multiple workspaces and update them often (and I know many of you do!), the volume of these automatic backups can become quite substantial. We're talking several backups per day per workspace, and over time, that can easily accumulate to tens of gigabytes of data for a couple years.

This got me thinking: What if we could have more control over this?

My suggestion is to add a setting that allows us to limit the number of automatic backups retained per workspace. Since each workspace has its own rhythm, this would let us customize how many backups RDM keeps for each one.

This small enhancement would give us better control over our storage space, making our favorite tool even more efficient, while still keeping all the great protection that automatic backups offer.

What do you all think? If this sounds useful to you, please consider showing your support!

Thanks for reading!
