2011 pretty much ignores my settings for backups before full, total backups, etc.
I am using home 2011.
I specified a full version after 3 differentials. Store no more that 4 recent version chains.
What I am getting is:
1 full backup.
6 differential backups.
There is no clear path to consolidating this without returning to the old full backup version, other than deleting the whole thing and starting over with a new full backup. Then doing this again later.
There is only one full backup. I don't want to retain this - is is old. But I see no way to make it do what I told it or get some satisfactory backup file configuration.
Can anyone provide some guidance?

Thanks, I started over and switched to Chain and will see how it works out. I just deleted the entire archive. Which of course stupidly deletes the backup definition as well.

Change the 6 to 3 or adjust the 6 and 4 to meet your needs.
Create a new task pointing to a new empty target folder or sub-folder.
Never delete good backups until you have good replacements.

Thank you. I believe that is what I had set. But I could be wrong. Anyway, too late. Started over.
