Does ver delete happen before backup, or backup first?

Thread needs solution

In TIH 2013, in various types of scheduled backups, when there is a delete to do that day and a backup to be made, which one happens first, delete or backup?

I have a partition backup set up to run daily, make a new full after every 7 incrementals (so a set of 8 is created), and it deletes old versions after 8 days. This gets me always having two full backups. When it's the delete day, before the job runs, I show 16 backup files, two FULLs with 7 INCs each. I wish to know if I need room for the 3rd full backup, or does the first set of 8 delete before the backup happens.

You always need room for an extra backup. ATI creates the new backup first, before deleting or consolidating older backups. This is a safety feature.
