    Hi,

    there is no limit to the number of versions you can keep. Over time it is a good idea to purge versions as keeping them can cause the repository to grow and possibly affect performance.

    The number of versions you keep is usually something the business defines. In some extreme cases, such as FSI, they need to maintain versions for 7 years so having a limit of 10 is not acceptable. So you need to determine what your use case is.

    You can still purge and maintain a long version history by having a rolling backup process. In this case you could purge versions so you only keep a maximum of 10 versions and because you kept a backup of the repository every month, you can always go back to an older backup to retrieve an older version if needed.

    Regards,

      Great Answer Opkar.

      Purging version will help you to reduce size of repository a lot. You can also configure your repository for not to create versions for other environments (Like dev or staging)
