Disk full with incremental backup

Thread needs solution

Hello

I'm doing an incremental backup on an 8GM memory stick. The first backup was just under 3GB and each subsequent one has been between 0.7 to 1 GB. The disk is now full. Can I just go and delete some of the older ones (not the original one) or do I need to start again.

Many thanks, Ian

A sure bet would be to start over. You can only delete the newer inc as you need to maintain the numbering sequence.

You might delete all the inc and start over with the same full but a better bet would be to start over.

If the file type was diff instead of inc, then yes, you would have been able the delete the oldest partials--but either way, Acronis will moan no matter what you do unless you start over.
