Consolidate backups
Hi,
I've got a 1tb USB backup drive that is almost full, about 90 gb free space.
The latest backup stopped because TO said there is not enough space free. AFAIR previous versions of TI had a feature to consolidate backups and clean up things this way.
It seems version 2015 and 2016 does not have this anymore.
So how can I regain some space on my backup device? Or should I better ask: which backups can a safely delete to NOT loose current backup schemes and how to prevent this situation again?
I've attached the current (incremental) backup jobs to get a first impression.
Forgot to mention that backup A a creates those files with System_C prefix whereas job B those with Spiele_D_G.
Any advice available?
cu,
Michael

Thanks GroverH for your reply!
I've now deleted all b3 files and restarted the backup. TI however is now missing a b4 file which is not (yet) on the disk either. AFAIR this was the problem before, too, before posting here.
Nevertheless, I've confirmed the message that was telling me about this missing b4 file with Ignore instead of Retry or Cancel and TI started to backup with a new full b4 version.
Guess that's it for now. Thanks for your support!
Michael
