How to automatically delete dependent backups?

Thread needs solution

Hi!

What I want to do: Create a full backup every sunday. Create incremental backups from monday to saturday. Create full backup on sunday again, and then delete every old backup.

How can I setup this?

If I set the cleanup rules to 7 days, I end up with always 2 full backups present. "Marked for deletion" or not, they consume disk space I don't have.
If I set the cleanup rules to 1 day, I get rid of the full backup as soon as a new one is present, but can not recover from 3 days ago, even if the backup is present, because it is "marked for deletion".

Can someone give me a hint?

Hello Heiko,

for your scenario you can use Simplified naming of backup files.

And in case you need to restore any of marked for deletion backups from personal vault you can manually edit relevant .xml and remove this flag.

Thank you.
