Acronis True Image Home 2011 hangs when deleting backup version

Thread needs solution

My location for the backups was getting full so I went in and viewed the backups using "Explore all versions". I right click on a version and choose delete. Acronis puts up a window that says Processing in the window title, nothing in the dialog itself and then hangs.

How do you delete older backups?

And, how do you have Acronis automatically delete the old backups? I am using a custom schedule.

Howard,

There is a bug in the current build of 2011 where you cannot delete backup versions reliably manually.

You have to use the auto-cleaning feature of a custom backup scheme to tell ATI2011 what you want to keep and what you want to delete.

ok, thanks, I found that setting and will see what happens. I assume it will apply the new rules I set on the next backup?

With ATI2011, you are better off setting up a new task. If you are not using the Acronis Secure Zone:
- move the TIB files you want to keep to another directory on the same disk,
- delete your backup task, insist,
- create a new backup task.
