User instructions not clear on how to keep multpiple copies or save to different external drives

Thread needs solution

I just upgraded from Acronis 11 to 2011.
I want to do the same thing that I did on Acronis 11:
1) Keep about 4 full, uncompressed copies of backups, with the oldest being deleted when I make a 5th backup. The options for 2011 seem to imply that if I do a full uncompressed backup, the previous one is always overwritten. How do I accomplish what I want?
2) Set up multiple backup "scripts" so that I can chose different external devices, and different numbers of saved copies for each. Unlike Acronis 11, I don't see a way to define named backup "scripts".

1) You have to create a custom backup scheme. Choose full. Turn on auto-cleaning, choose to store only the 4 most recent versions.
2) You have to create different backup tasks backing up to each drive. You should assign a different drive letter for each separate disk (use Windows disk management console to do that).
