Automatic Cleanup not deleting old chains
I am having trouble with the Automatic Cleanup; it is not deleting old version chains. I now have 5 full backups and 23 inc backups. The oldest 3/10/2015, the newest 4/12/2015.I think I have all the settings right the only thing that I might have done wrong was having to set up a couple of times as I was learning Acronis, I had to manually delete some of the backup files and I now have a current series that starts with: Dave_full_b2_s1_v1.tib. I am almost out of space so unless someone has a good answer, I may have to start deleting older chains.
You can see my settings in the attachment. Summary: Windows 7, Acronis 2015 Build 6525, Incremental, Create a full version every 6 incremental versions, Delete version chains older than 14 days, Do not delete the first version (unchecked)
Thanks

The quota of older than 14 days does not begin until after the inital full plus 6 incremental.
It is NOT older than 1 days until after the first seven (full +6) plus one more completed.
It is not older than 14 days until after 13 more dayis have elapsed or 21 backups if dailyi.
It is working normal when the deletion occurs either after the 21st or 22nd backup-depending upon timing.
If you did some manual editing, this could also explain the setting not working as expected.
