# NumberOfBackups

The number of backups to create. This option defines the number of times to run the backup operation before overwriting the first backup.

For example, if you set `NumberOfBackups` to `7`, the first seven backup schedules create a new backup file. The eighth backup operation overwrites the first backup, the ninth backup operation overwrites the second backup, and so on.

You must set this parameter to run scheduled backups. You must also set a BackupDirN directory for each backup.
