Simple task's old differentials aren't being deleted
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.

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

Re: Simple task's old differentials aren't being deleted
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it immediately. Does that mean I'll have to back up the entire drive from scratch every three or four days?

Temporally. We'll change how this works in the next version.cinematic6436 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 6:44 pmThanks for the suggestion, I'll try it immediately. Does that mean I'll have to back up the entire drive from scratch every three or four days?

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?
