Nonstop Backup: Delete version fails

Thread needs solution

I tried "Delete version" in the Nonstop backup timeline. After confirming "Are you sure you want to delete the backup version?" prompt, nothing happens.

I have the same problem.

Likewise. You'd think a top level backup/restore system would do the rudimental things correctly and with no hassle. With ATI 2012, basic functions like removal of expired backup sets (versions) results in:
1. dialog box with progress bar that moves at galacial speed, and NO CANCEL button.
2. After waiting the interminable time for the progress bar to indicate completion of the requested deletion, the backup set's Full (tib) is still there.
3. Newer versions remain but a gap in dates appears between 27 Jan (Full only now) and 16 Mar. which includes it's 2 Diffs.

Forget about autopilot for this software, the pilot seems brain dead. Automatic cleanup, purging, etc. are described as features. They just don't work. I wish Acronis would fix the basic functions to conform to the stated specs in the User Guide and FORGET about all the try and decide / Secure Zone etc. until the basic functions needed for a reliable backup solution work as described.
