If I set daily incremental backups... how do I ensure that the # of incremental backups do not get out of hand?

For example, after 1 year... I'll have over 365 incremental files!

Does Acronis support automatic management of incremental backups? i.e. after 30 days, do a full backup and start again?

Thanks!

You have to either use the Backup Locations feature or the SZ if you want TI to manage the number of backups.

Thanks exactly what I was looking for!

It would be nice if Acronis prompted automatically if a location should be configured as a backup location... that way one could just create a backup and also setup a backup location in one go.
