EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 10MiB, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

 

I don't want to take up my server space.  I want to store things remotely.

I assume you create a local backup first and then fire it over to the remote.

I want a setting to remove that when uploaded successfully to the remote.

I have set the local quota to 1, but that seems to be the minimum.  Over a lot of sites it takes up a lot of space, particularly for the larger sites.  

Is there any chance you would consider making the limit 0 instead of 1?
