I'm currently working on migrating the file backup system for my office to Amazon S3. The basic backup is working like a charm but I'm looking to make it a little more robust. Specifically I am looking to add version control for the files in the bucket (using Amazon "Versioning") but there is no mention (that I can find) of a way to limit the number of old versions stashed per file (ie: "File x" has a maximum of 5 previous versions at any given time).
Is it possible to place limits on the number of versions stored per file? Or am I stuck with an unlimited propagation of file versions over time if I go this route?
I've been digging through the AWS forums (as well as anywhere else I look) and have yet to find anything. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Currently you would need to list and erase old versions manually, as there is no user defined version limit.
