Res-Q optionally stores copies of the most recent backup(s) on your own workstation's hard drive. This allows for quick and easy restores without the need to download files from the Res-Q server. This saves a lot of time by eliminating the relatively slow dialup and download procedures. The number and size of locally stored backup files is controlled through Res-Q's "options" tab. In the section titled "Archive Options", there are several ways to determine the maximum locally stored backups. You can choose how many backups, how much space they may occupy, or a percentage of overall disk space that may not be exceeded. Res-Q defaults to 2 locally stored backups. These would be the two most recent backups performed.
