Cleanup after certain backup size doesn't work

Thread needs solution

I have an incremental backup (14 incremental versions per full backup). This currently allows me to keep ~8 version chains at a time.

In the backup settings I configured "Keep size of the backup no more than 700 GB", however currently the backup folder is 790 GB. How is this possible? Why doesn't it delete the old backups?

There are no error messages other than the information that there isn't enough disk space for another backup.

I don't have an answer to this is happening.  (Perhaps it doesn't delete until the full chain is complete.)  However, if your goal is to have 8 chains you could change your backup scheme to "Store no more than 8 version chains". 

The "Keep size" option has been removed from ATI 2020 so you will need to create an alternative scheme if you plan to migrate to future versions of ATI.
