Doing Incremental Backup, How many versions do I need to keep?
I've been doing incremental backups of my hard drive, and they now look like this after a couple months:
My_partitions.tib 34Gb
My_partitions2.tib 27Gb
My_partitions3.tib 8Gb
My_partitions4.tib 4Gb
My_partitions5.tib 4Gb
My_partitions6.tib 7Gb
My_partitions7.tib 2Gb
My question is...at what point can I delete any of these to save space, or do I need to keep them all, since they are incremental?
Thanks,
Chad

That makes sense. Then I could do that periodically and archive a set of backups, deleting the last archived set. Thanks for the tip!

Let the program do the work and avoid the hassles of issues created by manual intervention. Change the 6 and 4 below to match your needs.
In determining space requirements, TI always create the replacement before deleting the old file so allow temporary space for this temp extra backup.
Edit: start a new task pointing to an empty storage folder or sub-folder. Don't mix the contents of other backups.
