What is Versioning?

IBackup maintains up to 10 previous versions of all the files in your IBackup account. They are useful in case you accidentally delete files stored in your account and want them to be restored to your local machine. The latest version of a file is displayed under 'My Account' in the 'Restore' tab.

The additional storage requirements for Versioning have no impact on your account quota usage.
