Problem Description:
My main SSD is quite small. I want to change the local backup directory of my Project Zomboid instance (nichtBummeln01) so that all backups are stored on a secondary 1 TB HDD mounted at /home/amp/server-backups. I cannot find the exact setting/input field in the web interface to change the local storage path.
Additionally, I would like to know how to configure AMP so that it only keeps a maximum of 3 backups and automatically overwrites/deletes the oldest one when a new one is created, preventing my drive from filling up.
Steps to reproduce:
- Step 1: Open the Project Zomboid instance configuration.
- Step 2: Search for “Storage” or “Backup” in the settings.
- Step 3: Only S3 Cloud options appear, but no local path input field or backup retention limit setting is visible.
Actions taken to resolve so far:
- I successfully formatted and mounted the secondary HDD at
/home/amp/server-backupswith properamp:amppermissions. - I configured a daily schedule for backups inside the instance.
- I looked through the global “System Settings” as well as the instance settings and “File Manager”, but could not locate the local backup directory path or the backup limit setting.
