How to Start an overwrite Backup

Thread needs solution

Dear Forum!
I am initially new here! I like the Acronis backup solution, but I have one issue.
How can I overwrite the old backups?

Problem is, my HDD is not that big, and i dont want to handle the checking of free disk space by my self.

is there an function for overwriting an older backup?

Thanks very much in advance!

Your best option is to use scripting to delete the old backup prior to creating a new one. Default as you probably is to create a new backup before deleting an old backup all done with the scheduler. Not all users can do that though just as you. Scripting can workaround that. Here's a link that can get you started in the use of such a script:
