Auto clean up never works

Thread needs solution

Can anyone help me with this problem - why does the auto clean up never work on Acronis ? I set back ups to auto clean up and delete old versions but this never works.

If I set to delete copies older than 7 / 10 or 15 days I still find versions 30 and 40 days old !

Ive tried deleting back up completely and starting again but still the same happens every single time - this has been going on for years with earlier versions too and also on every pc or laptop Ive ever installed Acronis on !!

It seems to be a function that just never works !

What Backup method are you using? Can you post some screenshots of your Settings?

Yes. A screen shot of the backup scheme plus a screen shot of the tib storage folder would help.
Sort the tib folder in date/time before taking the snapshot would help.
Also, a picture of the main menu showing how the task is listed would also help.

Editing or making changes to a working task or performing a restore can cause the issues you describe.

The deletion based on the elapsed days does not go into effect until the last backup for that chain has been completed based on how many inc or dif files there is after the full.
