version cleanup not working
installed 2016 in june. backing up to network external drive. program seems to be creating incremental and full backups according to my settings but none of the old versions are being removed. when i discovered that the version chains older than 7 days were not being removed i changed to the store no more than 5 versions option. still nothing is being removed by the program. does this part of ati work?

With a setting of
Full plus 6 incrmentals, your chain length is 7 files.
If the setting is "Delete older than 7 days, then, when incremental backup (last inc of each chain) Inc_B1_S7_v1 is older then 7 days (8 days or more older), then the chain will delete. if backups daily, the deletion would occur on about backup #15.
]
If the setting is "Store no more than 5 recent version chains,
Retenion quota is 5 chains of 7 files per chain or retain 35 tib backup files.
Deloetion is scheduled to occur after backup #36 (Full B6) is completed.
