Backup Scheme

Thread needs solution

I thought I had the scheme set properly!  All I want to do is have 2 backups, one daily one monthly, I want each to be a full backup (i.e I don't want incremental), I need to have a backup file containing everything so I can easily move it or easily retrieve a single file/folder. I would prefer if it created a new backup file each time but only retain a specified number of backups.  And that's what I thought I had, but last night the output drive filled up and on looking I found dozens of copies of each backup going back 6 months when I first set this up.

Checking each backup's options I now can't find a way to specify number of backup copies to keep.  Am I missing something, is there a way to do this that I can't find?

Ian, welcome to these User Forums.

Please can you post some screen shots showing how your Backup Scheme is configured for your backup tasks, then we may be able to better understand the situation and advise you on how to resolve it?
