Incremental Backups

Thread needs solution

I want to start with a full backup then for 6 days do incremental backups, then on the 7th day do another Full backup, and delete the old Full backup, and all old incrementals that are before the newest Full backup. Anyone have any help on this? I tried turning on cleanup, but it leaves the old Full backup. Thank you

In this example, change the 4 recent version settings to 1. The setting for 6 incrementals is already what you want.

The program will not delete the oldest backup until the newest one has been created and written to disk. So from a space standpoint, you need to plan for the 1 extra full temporary backup. This setting is supposed to do what you want but there have been some reports of this not happening. Try it and see what you get. Start with a new task pointing to a new empty folder or sub-folder. Do not try to edit an existing task.
