Hello,

Is it possible to delete or remove automatically from backup list the old backup and keep only present files ? http://i.imgur.com/6NTvVb2.jpg ?

Yes. Look in the Configuration page. The option is called "Obsolete record quota". Please take a look at the documentation as well to understand how that works.

No, 0 means "don't delete anything". You can set it to 1, though. This makes sense, considering that quotas are only applied when there is at least one applicable old backup record.
