backup locations?

i've searched this board and there seem to be no answer, so i'm going to ask it again to throw another straw on the camel's back. if not this one, may be the next will succeed in breaking it.

anywhoo.

i've set up backup locations and backup tasks. the tasks work nicely, except i see no archive space management happening at all.

is there a trick (a setting somewhere?) to enabling it? am i missing something very obvious?

it really is unfair, this feature is the only reason i upgraded to TI10 (build 4871).

thank you in advance!

 

From what I've read, this problem is most often caused by not selecting the backup location from the backup location tree when setting up the schedule. If you just select the backup directory, then no space management will be performed. If done correctly the box for the backup directory is disabled because it's already taken care of by the selected backup location.

You might try doing a search on backup locations. There are quite a few posts on the subject.

 

that was it! thank you MUCH!
