creating backup schemes that update, add, and DELETE files. is it not possible?

Thread needs solution

hi forum, i just got done chatting with a rep and it sounds like what i want to do can't be done. maybe they're wrong?

i just want a backup scheme that basically updates new files, adds new files, and deletes ones that now no longer exist on the source drive.

basically i do video editing and i'll have a large of amount of large files on my hard drives, so i want all of those plus new iterations of photoshop files and what-not, so i want all of that backed up but then when i finish a project and back it up to a different drive for archiving then i delete it off my system drive and i want Acronis to also delete it from the daily backups. is this not possible?

Hello Josh,

thank you for your posting.

This scenario indeed cannot be implemented by means of Acronis products.

As a work around you can use single version backup scheme. In this case you'll have only one full backup which will be overwritten each time you create a backup.

Thank you.
