Auto Delete old backups

Thread needs solution

Spend some time browsing and searching the forum, as this question has been answered many times. That should be standard practice when you want an answer from a forum.

Create a new backup task, setting a limit on amount of backups either by total number of backups, total disk size of backups, or date of backups. Once a limit is reached, each execution of the task will create a new backup and delete a backup depending on your set options.

MVP Grover recommends setting a limit based on number or date of backups, as he's seen instances when the total disk space limit fails. I've used a total disk space limit for backup tasks on several PCs and never had a problem, so you decide.

Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.

In particular, see Grover's How to Create a "Disk Image" or "Disk Mode" Image or "Disk mode" image & more
