Does it have the ability to auto-delete the back up files after a set
number of days?
No, you have to do it manually.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Backup Files?
So you always have a backup that's no more than 24 hours old. You can turn off the automatic backups and just make them manually, or just delete the older ones as they build up. Here's the wiki entry on Trackstat: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin If you have other questions just post them in the forum. -- MeSue SUE 1 Touch | 2 Booms | 2 Radios | 1 Duet | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Logitech Media Server 7.7.1 | iPod Touch iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) | 'Rhapsody' (http://www.rhapsody.com/members/mesue) -*Logitech!

Because the database can sometimes be deleted by standard SBS code,
especially during upgrades, or become corrupt if SBS or computer is
shutdown in a middle of a database operation. If you don't have a
backup when this happens, all your ratings and all your playback
history would be lost.
You can clean-up old backup files, I usually keep the files for the
last month or so.
In addition to the link in the previous post by MeSue, it might also be
worth to look at the following page which describes the possibilities
you have to setup rating support:
