true image 11 full backup problem

Thread needs solution

I'm running Ture Image 11 Home build 8101. I have a scheduled weekly full backup, with a post command that renames the backup with a datestamp type name (yyyy.dd.mm.tib). I'm using a backup location with a single constraint of maximum of two backups. When the third full backup is created, I expected the oldest full backup to be deleted. It didn't happen, there are now three full backups. The backup constraint of maximum two backups does not appear to work. Is there a problem with renaming the full backups with a post command and expecting the backup location constraints to work, or do the backup location constraints simply not work?

Hello James,

Let me assist you with this situation.

The cause is that you're using renaming procedure with your batch file. Once renamed, the file is not identified as the part of backup with quota, so this situation won't work.

If you wish to keep retention within your backup location, please do not rename the archive so it can be identified correctly.

Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Thank you.
