Unclear: Backup history length (days) #27

Closed mdelgadoschwartz closed 4 months ago

mdelgadoschwartz commented 5 months ago

Hi,

It is not clear how the backup's are being made. There is a switch that allows one to specify the days a backup should be retained... but does it do so even when there is only one backup remaining?

For example, when in one day three backups are made, but then Obsidian is not used for a week, at the start up of Obsidian a week later, are the three backups deleted before or after a new "fresh" backup has been made?

Thanks in advance for clarifying!

Hello, thanks for using this plugin, and sorry for the late replying:

Up to version 0.1.7, yes it does.

For example, when in one day three backups are made, but then Obsidian is not used for a week, at the start up of Obsidian a week later, are the three backups deleted before or after a new "fresh" backup has been made?

The backups will be deleted after a new backup created.
