setting up automatic cleaning delete items older than 7 days and saving 1st backup

Thread needs solution

I have recently purchased and downloaded this backup program

During set up I have attempted to save the above settings several times.

It does not seem to take

I set up advanced settings

turn on automatic clean

check off delete after 7 days

check off keep first backup

then check off save as default settings

then save

when I do back to options it asks me to turn on automatic clean again

any suggestions?

thank you

First of all, the settings are per task, there is no overall default user defined task settings. The second thing, is that some people have reported that when a custom image algorithm is made, this also doesn't become available for new tasks, and has to be remade again for each task.

I recently purchased Acronis True Image 2016 and I am unsure how to set it up to carry out regular backups in a particular way. I would like to do an entire pc backup initially and then a weekly or monthly backup as a top up for ongoing additional content. I would also like to be able to set this to automatically clean up old backups periodically so that I don't run out of storage space. My entire pc backup would be approx 420gb of data and I have created an Acronis Secure Zone on a seperate hard drive which has a capacity of around 950gb. I would like to be able to set this backup schedule and leave it running with little or no management tasks required by myself. Is this possible? Can anyone tell me how to set this schedule up? Please help!

Thank you.
