backup schema

Thread needs solution

Hello

I have difficulty to find the proper install for the next type of backup schema I like to use.

Every day of the week I want to have a complete disk image backup. The net week the previous one of the same day needs to be deleted.
I have used the 2011 Home scheduling option and activated the backup for every specified day of the week (so I had 7 scripts for monday, until sunday and named the after the corsponding weekday)

The result ia an strange name and numbered backup-file which I have te deleted manually after 7 days because 2011 does not deletes them.
Any one en suggestion how to achief my schema

Hans,

One way to achieve exactly what you want is to do the following:
You need to set up 7 tasks, archiving in different folders with different task names.
Each task can have the same content to archive, scheme, etc.
Set each task as a single version backup.
In the schedule options remember to untick the advance settings.

Another simpler way is to set up a single task, with a custom full backup scheme, with the autocleaning option to keep only the 7 most recent backups, or to delete backup older than 7 days.
