A Simple Solution I'm Sure - But can't figure it out !

Thread needs solution

All I want to do is create a full system backup every Sunday then just backup any 'files and folders' daily that change during the week until the following Sunday's full backup. Then delete the previous week's 'files & folders' backups and start all over again.

It must be simple but can't figure it out. Anyone help please.

You'll need two separate tasks for that: one to create the full disk images; one to do the file backups. Checkout Grover's True Image Guides, as I'm sure he'll have guides on how to do this: http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3426

If you mean the
("Then delete the previous week's 'files & folders' backups and start all over again. ")
you want the full retained but only the changed files backup to be deleted and then only the "files & folders" to be recreated, the the answer to your questions is

No, TrueImage cannot do that.

What TrueImage can do is to create as many backups of the changed files as you choose, but once the changed files retention number is reached, TrueImage will start over from the beginning again and starts with a full backup.

One of the most frequent mistakes made in backup maintenance is the user is in much too big a hurry to delete prior backups. It is not unusual for weeks or months to go by before an error or missing file is discovered or needed. Retain as many of your backups as space permits and only delete when you have no other choice. If necessary, have multiple backup disks to help expand what you can keep.
