How to setup a backup . . .

Thread needs solution

I have been using ATI 2011 for the last (4) years. New 64bit Win 7 machine required upgrade to ATI 2015.
2015 is supposed to be simpler so I must be overthinking the problem.
I had (2) tasks setup in ATI 2011, #1; Full back of (2) HD and (1) thumb drive on Friday to a ASZ on a 3rd HD. #2 Incremental back of same drives on Sat, Sun, M, T, W & T. ATI would keep all backups until room was needed and would delete the oldest back up to make room.
Can someone hold my hand and walk me through setting this up on ATI 2015?

Thanx in advance,
Dan

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. Automatic cleanup avoids problems of manual deletion by the user.

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.

GH11. Create Custom Full Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup....Store/Keep 4 versions (chains). Use whatever number best fits the individual needs..

GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 6 Inc per chain. Store/Keep 4 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.

GH13. Create Custom Differential Backup Scheme w/auto cleanup. ...Keep Full plus 2 Diff per chain. Store/Keep 2 chains. Use whatever number best fits your needs.
