backup files not auto deleting - overwritting

Thread needs solution

Hello!
We have Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 (build 10.0.11.345) - Windows 2003 Sp2.
We have set out full backup's to overwrite to save space every week - but they are not auto-deleting.
We have selected the "Overwrite data on tape without prompting for user confirmation". There are no errors in the log showing space problems etc. There is ample room on the backup device.
What are we missing ?

Hello Jason Baker,

Thank you for your post. I will be happy to assist you.

Can you please clarify about where you are saving your backups. Are you saving your backups to tape or some other location?

The reason I am asking, is, if you are backing up to tape then the backups will be overwritten automatically. If you are backing up to another location, the backups will not be overwritten, however, this will be implemented in Update 3 of our software.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thank you.
