Suggest A Scheme?
Due to lack of intelligence, I cannot seem to work out how to tailor my backup scheme to my requirements. This is a lack in me unfortunately and not TI.
I have a c: solid state system disk with my Win7 installation and program files plus a spinning HD d: with all my data files, pictures music, etc. I wish to back up to a USB 3 1Tb drive. A full backup of my system and data yields a 196Gb .tib file. I back up every day upon machine shut down.
What I want is backups for the last 28days and for them to be automatically cleaned up after that for space reasons. If space is spare, I'd like TI to carry on backing up. If space is short I'd like it TI to delete as necessary.
I'd amend parameters from gained experience with the scheme I decide upon until I made best use of the 1Tb disk capacity.
I'd really appreciate any help. Is my use of a USB3 drive OK, by the way?

Thanks for those observations, Colin. I'll go through Grover's as you suggest.
I image both files to the .tib but I take your point about separate files. Presumably I can image the SSD and spinner separately but in one operation or batch.

If you are scheduling the tasks you have them run one after the other. To do that you set the first task to run at, let's say' 7:00 am, you then schedule the second task to start anytime after that, so you could have 7:05 or if you know the first task takes on average 20 minutes you can have the second task start 20 minutes later. TI will queue the tasks so if the first is running the second will wait until the first has finished.
Here is a snipshot of my tasks. Note! I am using ABR11.5, so True Image tasks look different, but this is just to show how I have two tasks that run on from each other, TI works exactly the same way in this instance.
