Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

As currently implemented, the maximum size of backups is 1 GB, although it is administrator-adjustable. It would be niuce to set it to 0 and not worry about the maximum size of backups.

Why would this be helpful?

As currently configured, ABS sets a maximum size for backups at 1 GB, although that is a administrator-adjustable option. I've had to increase it to 5 GB for the size of my library. However, while I can understand the need to limit the size of backups, I would like to disable the maximum size as it is very unlikely that a backup would exceed the 17TB I have available in my TrueNAS server.

If the feature already exists (e.g. setting the maximum size to 0 to disable), it is not documented in https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/migration-and-backups nor in the hover-over help.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Not applicable.
