Older Reserve Copy deleting
I want to update the reserve copy of my HD. I thought as long as it would update it would overwrite the original version of the backup but it makes additional copies and taks way to much disk space as I want to update it weekly when the main backup updates. Can the earlier versions of Reserve Copy be deleted?

don2m,
This is how I have come to understand the Reserve Backups.
If you are referring to backups created via the Backup options/Advanced/Reserve backup:
The Reserve backup is a second backup which is secondary or piggy back to the host task and the host task can be full only, or full with inc or diff, but the Reserve Backup is a FULL type only backups with no options for the Reserve Full to have Incremental or Differential or overwrite.
These reserve full backups are totally under your control for how many or where to keep or what or how to delete.
The program does not control these Reserve type backup in any way, other than to run them under your control--either schedule or non-scheddule.
So if you want to delete them, it is within your discretion. I would do so using Windows Explorer. Due to their size, any deletion wouold bypass the Recyle bin. Any deletion or movement of these Reserve backups should not affect your normal backup tasks.
