Create a backup which erase the previous one
Hello,
I want to do frequent images of my main ssd. At the moment, I configured weekly backup with one complete backup and 3 incremental versions before the program make a new complete backup, etc.
My problem is that I thought that, as I configured ATI2016, I thought that i'll get one complete backup file, and eventually one incremental backup file, updated 3 times before the renewal of the previous complete backup file... which would be erased.
But I was surprise to see that in two months, I have now 2 complete backup files and 6 incremental files !
Does ATI2016 can be configured to overwrite, at least, the previous complete backup file ? And eventually all the previous incremental backups files ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Here's a picture of the configuration and of what happens in the folder.

For the sandisk, You have reached your designated quota of 1 full plus 3 incrementals.
YOur next backup will be a FULL BACKUP and a successful completion of the _Full_b2 will initiate the deletiion process and
these 4 B1 backups will be deleted leaving you with the Full B2 only. 3 Future incrementals will be added, and the deletion cycle will repeat with each new Full backup.
Basically, from this point forward, each new Full will initate the deletion process of the oldest chains

Oh ! I just saw that the other files were, in fact, another backup I deleted ! That's why there were so many files.
Sorry for the inconvenience. You're totally right.
Thank you
