Acronis 2011 : Delete versions older than xx days (or Store XX number of backups) Not Working.

Thread needs solution

Acronis 2011 : Delete versions older than xx days (or Store XX number of backups) Not Working. I have a 2 Terabyte drive just for backups with plenty (over 50%) of free space but am unable to get either function working to control the number of saved backups either by number of days or number of backups working.

I tried "keeping last 7 days" and 2 weeks later it is still stacking up backups. I tried "7 backups" and there are well over 20.

These are all FULL BACKUPS.

Any suggestions?

Ed, Using 2011-7796 (XP Pro), I have been having good success using the automatic cleanup option and always from a task which has not been editied. Try creating a new task to a new folder and use these settings. This is a suggested backup name if you want to try something different using the add option
  Full__@date@__@time@__@exec@__
The @exec@ will place a numeric sequential number in the file name every time the task runs. I use two underscores to separate the date & time & exec.
