how to setup Sequential FULL backups?
I can't figure out how to setup a backup set that is always full and the new one does NOT delete the old one.
I want something like Quicken where I can setup the file name to always append the current date.
e.g. I select a set of folders to backup.
I give the set a name "MySportsStatistics"
Backup every week, but keep old backups until I decide to delete them.

Acronis appends it's own file name to the name of your backup (Bx_Sx_Vx) so you won't be able to use dates for each file name. Please see the user guide:
https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2018/index.html#37737.html
However, you'll be able to determine when they were created with the date in Windows File Explorer or from within the GUI.
If you don't want them to automatically delete and want to delete them manually as needed, disable the automated cleanup option, or leave it enabled, but set the "store no more than" option to a preferred # of backups to keep before it automatically cleaning out the OLDest version.
If you want more availability of manual cleanup directly in Acronis, you'll need 2019, which brought back the missing functionality of this between 2016 and 2018.
And in 2019, you can also use "clean up versions"
