2015 Automatic Cleanup still doesn't seem to work.

Thread needs solution

According to the release notes, automatic cleanup for the latest build of 2015 is supposed to work, but as far as I can make out, it still doesn't. Has it worked for anybody?

Yes it works but only when the scheme is set up correctly.
Set your NEW scheme to match one of the example of GH11, GH12, OR GH13.

------------------------------------------------

Depending upon the type of backup scheme you wish to create, here is an example of each type. These can be set up for Disk image, or Partiton, or Files-folders backups. These example show how to set up automatic cleanup so the program will do the deletion after it reaches your set goal of how many chains to retain.

Editing an existing task is not recommended. Rarely does an edited task perform to user expectations. It is usually better to start with a new task using a new non-identical task name and point to a new storage sub-folder so each task has it own storage folder/sub-folder. Old task can be stopped or deleted from the task listings.

GH11. Create Custom Full Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup....Store/Keep 4 versions (chains). Use whatever number best fits the individual needs..

GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 6 Inc per chain. Store/Keep 4 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.

GH13. Create Custom Differential Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 2 Diff per chain. Store/Keep 2 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.

Thanks,

I reinstalled and tried it again with incremental and it worked ... no idea why it failed the first time, but amongst the possibilities is that I never actually successfully installed the new build in the first place (!!), is there somewhere in the UI that you can tell what build you are actually running?
