Hi Andreas,

ML support informed me that :

"The 'max-backups' setting does not actually apply to incremental backups.
We have an existing bug against the admin UI that this information should
be included in the help text (Bug 33935). You can give leave it as the
default (because it is a mandatory field)."

Regards,
Danny
