Hi...

I have my nightly system backup set so every 7 days, the full and incrementals would get deleted and then start fresh.

In the past few days, I see that the nightly process is taking much longer because it is doing some kind of cloning and modification to the original files, which still exist! See the attachment to see what I am seeing as of today, 3/29/2012. There have not been new incrementals created for a week, though they appear to be modified daily. And here's what I am seeing into my email notification...

Any idea what the hell is going on here? Perhaps I should delete my scheduled definition and start fresh on that, too....?

Andy,

You are using auto-consolidation which is different from auto-cleanup. I recommend you create a new backup task with the following settings:
- incremental,
- do a new full after 7 incrementals,
- turn auto-cleaning on,
- keep no more than X more recent versions. Choose X so that there is always enough space for a new full backup.

Andy, An example of what Pat is suggesting is in the link below. Your settings instead of the 6 and 4 would be 6 inc and retain 1 recent version chain. TrueImage will create one full and 6 incrementals and then will create the next full and if the creation of the full is successful (without write errors) then it will delete the original chain of full and 6 incs. So you always need temp space for one extra full backup. If you have the storage space or can get more storage space, I would encourage you to retain some backups. Quite often, when you need to restore a file or backup, it is usually not the most recent backup.
