Actually, the default number of backups is 5, but this can be changed to a maximum
of 99. To do so, you need to change the file scanreg.ini. This file is in c:\windows
Open the file, and change the value of MaxBackupCopies. The value can be anywhere
from 0-99.
For more information about this file, see the MS article, 183603, at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;183603
