Auto delete oldest backup

[desaubin]

How can I have ATI 2009 have auto deleted the oldest ASZ entry when ASZ is full when creating a new backup?

It doesn't work like that - Acronis consolidates the incrementals into the full image one at a time. It is one of the failings of 2009 - you could do multiple full backups etc. with previous versions but not with 2009. I think it smacks of putting all ones eggs in the same basket and for that reason I backup to two different locations.

Hmm, sounds like I should downgrade to ATI 11

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

The appropriate task has been created. The desired option will be available in the future releases. This option can be implemented for the next build of Acronis True Image Home 2009.

Thank you.

Or even ATI 8,9,10. It worked just fine in the good old days.

Use Ubuntu LiveCD and mount the secure zone as read+write and then you can delete whatever you want.

Tony, you did not understand my question.

I'm not sure which opton is going to be implemented but if it is the ability to store and automanage multiple Full backups, I might reconsider moving from ATI10 to ATI 12/2009, which currently has worse features but broader hardware support.

Hello all,

Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

I'm not sure which opton is going to be implemented but if it is the ability to store and automanage multiple Full backups, I might reconsider moving from ATI10 to ATI 12/2009, which currently has worse features but broader hardware support.

Such feature was requested to our Development Team, probably it will be implemented in one of our next builds.

There's a solution to handle it: you can set automatic consolidation option to merge several incremental\differential backups with full. And new option (appeared in 9646 build of Acronis True Image Home 2009) - you can set an option to create a full backup after N incremental backups.

Please also notice that you can find detailed information on Acronis True Image in the respective User's Guide.

Thank you.

That's a no no with ATI12/2009, which maintains a database of allthe backups it makes. Generally, all creation, deletions, and name changes of backup files must be done within ATI -- I believe this applies to the SZ -- if you delete a backup file outside of ATI, it won't be reflected inthe ATI database.
