Lost my original backups thanks to Ghost

The default state is to limit the number of recovery points saved for each backup job.  Change it!  I've just lost my original backups before I realized it was there.  What a stupid default setting to have anyway.  I rather have the disk becoming full then Ghost warning me there is insufficient free disk space than to lose backups I really wanted to keep.  At least I can manage them myself and if necessary move them off to another disk drive.  I'm sure that's what everyone else would prefer.  I now have disabled that setting and archive my backups sets to a very large external hard drive to free up space on the backup destination.
