True Image 2014 creating main and 2 incremental at same time

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I'm trying to set it up to do:-
Week 1 Full Backup
Week 2 Incremental
Week 3 Incremental
Week 4 Full backup (Delete old backups)
And so on.
But what I get every week is a full backup followed immediately by 2 incremental backups. I can't figure out how to do it correctly. Please can someone assist my ancient brain to put it right.
Thanks in advance
Tony

Stop using the older chain. Create a new chain with a different name pointing to a new storage sub-folder.
Set up your new backup scheme as per GH12 example, except your setting should be
Full followed by 2 incremental
Store 1 recent version chains

Automatic deletion of the oldest chain would occur immediately following the 2nd full and following each fuure FULL--much like an escalator where the new full is added and the oldest chain (full + 2 inc) is auto deleted.

If you have the room for storage of additional backups, I would suggest you increase the store 1 chain to store 2 as keeping 2 chains (even more if possible) provides better data security as often times, a problem or deleted file is not discovered right away and more backups gives you a better chance of having a replacement.

GH12. Create Custom Incremental Backup Scheme.
6 Inc, Keep 4 chains. The 6-4 is an example only with user choice for whatever number of chains to be retained best fits the individual needs.
