                                            | Hi,I have a database of mostly names and addresses, and I make backups before I do any major data update attempts in the event that I screw something up during the update.I've uploaded a screenshot of one of my backup files:http://i.imgur.com/W1G3Fua.pngWe can see that I have 33 "backups" in this one backup file.  What is the best way for me to delete the backups in positions 1 - 30?  They're old enough that I don't need them anymore. |  |

                                          | I don't know of a way to delete selected backups from a backup set. I always take each backup into a new file. That also protects me from the whole backup set being rendered unusuable because of file corruption. |
