Backup consolidation not working and out of space quota message
I have set the consolidation setting to 5 backups before the system should start to consolidate. I have now 7 backups and they have not been consolidated yet. As a result I'm running out of space and get the quota violation message.
Does the system not do the consolidation because I have not enough space available, or is there a possible other reason for this?

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. I will not use disk size limitations. Instead, setting a specific number of "store no more than 'n" works for me and has for 2012-2013-2014 and 2015. Disk scheme must read "Custom".
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.
