What size for backup external drive
I'm new to Acronics and am still using the trial version. I'm backing up 750GB from my C: drive to a 2 TB external HD using USB 3.0 in 2 hours. After the first 5 daily backups I had a full backup plus 5 incremental backups. Acronics then did another full backup and started doing incremental backup to it. After reading the help info, I see that this is to be expected. I'm not clear are the monent about how older backups are deleted but it seems to me that my backup drive is not big enough; it already has 1.3TB used. What should my backup strategy be and what size backup drive should I use?

Thanks, Steve. I guess I'll get a 5TB drive. The difference in price between 3, 4, and 5 TB drive is not so great. Rather have too much disk space than too little. :-)
