number of back up file in RollingFileAppender

How do I set the number of back up files? The default is 2 and I would
like to have the option of configuring it. 

Thanx,

Rajan

MaxBackupIndex:

<appender name="A1" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
          <param name="File" value="log/toolkit.log"/>
          <param name="Append" value="true"/>
          <param name="MaxFileSize" value="5MB"/>
          <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10"/>
          <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{DATE} [%t] %-5p
%C{2} - %m%n"/>
          </layout>
        </appender>

Tim.
