I am currently using "Trueimage Workstation" to backup to an external hard drive, I have it setup to do the run every 2 days, everything runs fine and my questions relates to the backups on the drive.

Currently there are approx 16 files (backup01, backup02, etc etc etc)

these are the incremental files for the backup. What I need to know, is which or how many of these I can delete and yet still have the ability to recover a full backup??

Hopefully I have made myself understood???

You must have the FULL image and all the INC images up to and including the date from which you wish to restore. If you want to restore to the 25th and you have deleted the INC image from the 21st – you will not be able to.
