Huge simCfgBackup folder

[Dirk98 354]

I wanted to make a rar backup of my SIMstarter NG/data folder before full reinstall of Prepar3Dv4.2 when I discovered it was huge like almost 900Mb. Turned out simCfgBackup folder there was full of backups (363 items) since 2017/12/06 only!

Could anybody explain please what in SIMstarter triggered them to spawn like locust? If I'd like to save a backup of my latest SIMstarter settings do I need only one latest backup folder there? And how to stop SIMstarter to create them in hundreds?

Thanks!

It's the simConfig Backup Manager introduced since "22.09.2017 - v1.5.1".

Use Tools > SimConfig Backup Manager to modify your preferences.

In addition there have been a dialog to introduce the new BackupSystem. You may have overseen it?

Please, Capt. Pero, change the default setting to Disabled, otherwise many will find later an insane number of unwanted backups in their SIMstarter's simCfgBackup folder.
