Changing Proxmox backup limit number.

@t.lamprecht - I cannot find this option in the "Storage configuration" - could you please clarify or share a screenshot? Thanks!

Perfect, found it - thanks!

BTW are there any plans to make this configurable per VM? Currently I would like to keep a backup of one of my VMs indefinitely (let's say for a year) but I don't want 365 days of backup for all of my VMs, I'd like to keep 1 day backup of each VM + this one backup in addition to them.

You can create several "dir" storages and set the content type to "vzdump". That way you can different backup retentions for different VMs.

Understood. And if I want to "shelve" one backup, just to be able to keep it indefinitely, should I create a separate storage and move my backup over (as a file copy)?

yes, just copy the files between the directiries.
