Any updates regarding this problem? I still have to remember to manually delete all old backups to provide space for the new ones.

Update -- After three days, one full backup and two differentials, R-Drive has made a new full backup, but didn't remove any of the old ones. Is there something wrong with my settings?

Temporally. We'll change how this works in the next version.

Full image: every 4 images (or maybe 3).

I’m trying to make a simple automated task that will make one full image, then one differential every subsequent day, only keeping the original full image & the 3 most recent differentials as days pass.

On 01/09, the full backup was created, but from 01/10 through 01/15, the older differentials haven’t been deleted. Initially I had “Maximum number of image files” set to 3, but none of the older differentials were being deleted, so I changed “Maximum age of image files” to 2 days, but that didn’t make a difference either.

I probably have something set up incorrectly but I can’t figure out what. Included are two screenshots. If someone could give me a pointer, I’d greatly appreciate it.
