Overwrite prior backup files

Thread needs solution

I have True Image 2012 with Plus Pack and I have set up (7) separate full backups into different folders for each day of the week. In the prior version of Acronis Home the backups would overwrite the prior file appropriately but in 2012 it appends a number to the end of the file name and does not overwrite the prior backup. I've searched the help files and forums and can not find the setting that will cause the new backup files to overwrite the prior files and so my hard drive fills up and the backups fail. Please help.

Thanks,
Jason

You could set up a task that has the following settings:
- custom backup,
- full backup,
- autocleaning on,
- keep the last 7 most recent vesions,
- daily run.

Thank you...I found the setting in the Backup Scheme and selected keep the most recent backup only. Great response time on this forum!
