why does 'backup now' button delete any previous backups? It even deletes backups created from the scheduled backups. I want to create a few snapshots as I'm testing, but may need to revert to a previous backup.
 
pls file a bug at bugzilla.proxmox.com, I assume we should not delete any old backup here.
 
in /etc/vzdump.conf , try setting maxfiles: to the number of backups you want saved . for example:
maxfiles: 5
