Single Version Deletion?

Thread needs solution

I have been using Acronis Home True Image for some years now and have been pulling my hair out since upgrading to version 2011+PlusPack.
Firstly there are too many hoops to jump through for simple tasks, i.e. having to find the little menus and get your head around the new nomenclature. "CHAINS" what's that all about, more appropriate for bondage than backing up.
So I managed to get a system working to back up a C and D drive (320 and 120) and then decided to upgrade the 2nd drive to 500GB. All hell let loose. I have a 1TB backup drive and it said there as not enough space on the target drive even after I had formatted it. All of my backups bombed out. So I defragged the drives, uninstalled Acronis and reinstalled. Hooray back in action.
Anyway the question I have is, scheme "Single Version", if you have a failure during the backup do you lose your previous full backup? i.e. does it replace as it is writing and if it fails roll back to the previous?
I ask this as I do not have a problem with time and it seems to me less of a hastle to restore a single full backup thant incremental of differential. I backup my working files daily anyway.

ati creates a backup and if it does so without error, it will then delete the prior backup. This prevernets losing all your backups if you repeateldy try to backup but some problem prevents the backup from completing correctly. This is also why you need room for at least once more backup on your target disk. For example, if you task is set to maintain 4 backups, when you create the 5th, ati will then see that it has one too many backups and delete the oldest, thus maintaining the limit of 4 backups. And also, thus, room for at least 5 backups must be available on the target drive for the 5th backup to be created.
