TIH 2011 - Automatic Cleanup Bug?

Thread needs solution

Hi, I'm using TIH2011 w/ Plus Pack on Win7 Ultimate x64.

I had setup a differential backup without cleanup first. 12 Differential versions had already been created.

I then changed my mind and switched on automatic cleanup:

  • Create a new full backup after 10 differential ones
  • Don't store more than 2 version chains
  • Don't delete first backup is not checked

I expected that for the next run, TIH would instantly create a new full version since the threshold of 10 differential versions already have been exceeded.

However, on the next run, TIH just created another differential version belonging to the initial backup.

What's wrong?

My recommendation would be to start over with a new task pointing to a new folder and a new backup file name. The new task should have your final task setting so a task edit is not necessay.

OK, will give that one a try.

But honestly - I expect a good software either to prevent me making such settings in case they are not supported or else doing what I set.

Some sample settings but adjust the number of chain retention and the number of diff's to your needs.
