How to do a full backup and have Acronis only keep 3 generations

The older version of Acronis used to do this, but I don't see an option in Acronis 2018.  I want to schedule a full back up.  After 3 generations are created, upon the 4th backup, the oldest of the 3 previous backups is deleted - thus I always have the current, -1 and -2.

The full backup does not have an option to keep anymore than 1 generation (that I can see), so I'm guessing (hoping actually) that I can accomplish this using Incrementals.

I appreciate your replies,

Frank

Set Backup Scheme to Custom. Set Backup Method to Full. Then you can turn on Automatic cleanup to do what you want.
