 * I’ve a site that i’ve set to backup to my S3 Bucket periodically.
 * Is there a way for the previous backup to be removed each time a new backup is
   taken? I’d rather not have to take up loads of space with previous backups if
   possible.

 * Hello
 * If you go to the **Settings** tab you can set the **Files backup schedule** and**
   Database backup schedule **to retain a particular number of scheduled backups.
   When the number of backups you store on your S3 bucket reaches this limit and
   a new backup is taken, the oldest one will be removed.
