Retention policy not working.

Thread needs solution

I am running Acronis Backup & Recover 10 on a server and backing up several directories.

The job's retention rules are configure as such:

Delete backups older than: 8 days
Deleting a backup with dependencies: Consolidate the backup

However, the backup files are piling up on the server and not deleting.

I could use a little guidance.
