Set max disk use for Win 7 Pro Backup on Network Location
I have multiple computers backing up to a NAS location, which is also used for other things. How do I set a Max Disk Use limit on Win 7 Backup so they don't use the entire NAS with 6 months worth of backup. Thanks.

Windows Backup is incremental backup. The size increasing is very tiny after each backup. Do you find that your disk space is occupied by backup files? If so, you may refer: Windows Backup does not perform an incremental backup of media files when the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" is enabled in Windows 7 Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Was on site with the computers today. Win backup had created backup sets of 50+GB each and used the entire NAS drive. While media sharing may have been enabled, there is very little media on either computer so there's no way it's filling any significant proportion of the almost daily 50GB data dump. Further, with Win Backup not managing disk space properly and with no way to set a "Max Age" or "Max disk use", it's failing to be of any use in this scenario.
