Delete end of chain to make more room?
Does anyone know if its possible to delete a few of the last incremental backups in the chain and then run an incremental backup again and just add to that? I want to make more room on a backup drive.

If you are not using the latest version would you be able to delete all incremental backups and just run a new incremental backup?
And if so would that save some space?

Yes, except that there is a bug in the last build where deleting versions from ATI doesn't work very well. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
What you could do is:
- using Windows Explorer, move the backup you want to delete to another folder on the same disk to hide it from Acronis, delete the incrementals you can do without, starting with the LAST one, manually.
- delete the backup from Acronis,
- set up a new backup task with new settings.

Sorry, but backup management shouldn't be this difficult! That's the whole point of a BU program, right? Otherwise I could just use NT backup or even batch files to get the same result for free.
All the UI gloss in the world isn't going to substitute for an intuitive product. Still waiting for one. CrashPlan is the closest I've ever seen to a self managing, "set and forget" GFS scheme. Too bad they only BU user files and don't offer a system imaging solution.
Also, what's with the 5 different ways to back up without an easy way to determine which is best for what purpose. Programmers really irk me sometimes. If you are going to present multiple options, offer either clear use case scenarios or, if you are too lazy to do that, don't waste the time to design the 5th wheel!
