You're right. I'm running 2008Dx. I don't anticipate upgrading in the near
future. Am fed up with the "screw up what works to justify a new version"
mentality.
I'll just keep transferring old files to a new folder periodically.

I do my backups to a couple of little flash drives. I keep about the
last three backups... each time I do a new backup, I delete the oldest.

One caveat here... flash drives are only good for so many read/writes.
Every now and then, replace them... they're cheap. Smash the old one
with a hammer. Keep at least one off-site, in a sefe deposit box or
something. Heck, you could even splurge for a slightly bigger one and
keep all of the old backups you want! :-)

I do my backups encrypted, to an external drive.

Make a second data folder and move all the files over the limit into the
new folder.

You could have 50 files in DATA1, for example, and the rest in DATA2.

Add more folders as needed. :)
