Description of my issue:

Hi, 

I have set to cron task for my backup and I don't understood how i can limit the number of backup to 7 for this automacally task.

This is an option in the parameters of task or here a special configuration?

Best

The number of backups kept is set per backup profile, not per backup origin. That is to say, the limit will apply to all backups taken from the backend, the CLI CRON script, the frontend and the remote JSON interface. Also note that any Frozen backups are exempt from automatic deletion (they do not participate in the quota management).

As documented, these limits are set in the profile's Configuration page. Please scroll almost all the way down to the quota settings. Please do consult the documentation of these options to understand what they do.
