I am confident that deleting the remaining backups will trigger a reset of the count.

Hardaysknight pointed out that deleting the other backups may reset the count, but unfortunately, that solution does not work.

Would you like to change the name and add the date to it?

You have the ability to adjust the quantity of backups performed.

I am aware that my limit is currently set at 3.

Hi there! If you want to reset the counter in RS Logix, you'll need to download the program from the PLC, delete the ".BAK" files you want to reset, then reupload the program to the PLC. The .BAK files hold archived versions of your work so by removing them, you essentially reset the counter. Take note though, it's always a good practice to save backup files in a different location before any modification or deletion, just in case you need to undo your changes. Let me know how it goes!

You might want to explore using RSLogix's own built-in functionality for this job. There's a simple tool in the "File" menu labeled "Save As," where you have the option to rename your files. If you save your current count under a new name, that should effectively reset your count to zero. Do this for all three files and you should be set. Remember to maintain good file management practices so it won't get messy, and always make sure you have backups to avoid losing data.
