How do I keep old and restart new backup?

Thread needs solution

I want to fully backup my data drive and then add differential backups for 14 days.

I then want to keep the last backup, day 14 and start a new one for another 14 days, so that after starting the new 14 day sequences, I still have the last backup from the previous one. And so on through the third 14 day sequence. Thus I always have one good backup even when starting over.

Thus, if the files were 1 through 14, it would go - 1 2 3 4 through to 14 - 14 1 2 3 4 through to 14 and so on.
The array of settings on TI are so great i can't quite see how to do this and so I always end up with a disk full notification.

If I get it right, the disk would vary between 2 files - 14 and 1 - and 14 files 1 through 14 and never fill up.

I hope this makes sense - any help gratefully received!
