Overwriting old backup

I'm using Paragon Drive Backup 9 Personal. I'm backing up to a second internal hdd with limited space. The scheduled backup performs every night just like I set it. But it adds the new back up beside the last one. I would like the current back up to overwrite the previous one but can't find a way to do that. Can't find any mention of this in the Help File. Could someone please tell me if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

Thanks,

Dave

*edit*

Ok, so here's the script from the scheduler:

// This file was automatically generated by Paragon script generator
// Time of creation: Thu Aug 19 07:59:16 2010
// Use Paragon Script Interpretator to run this file

// Settings block

usevss
store

// Check for errors
call check_error

// Apply all scheduled operations
apply all

// Check for errors
call check_error

// Exiting
// exit(0)

// Function for checking error
check_error:
if (errorcode(1) != 0)
then
print "Some error occured: "
strerror(errorcode(1))
print ""
print "Exiting"
print ""
exit(errorcode(1))
endif
endcall

What can I change in this script in order to have the program overwrite the previous back up with the new one?

Thanks,

Dave

 

What you need to do is take the variables out of the file name that it creates, this way it will be overwritten every time. This is the line you would need to change:

// Backup
img = "F:/Paragon/arc_190810115810765/arc_190810115810765_$(YEAR)_$(MONTH)$(DAY).PBF"

To:


img = "F:/Paragon/arc_190810115810765/arc_190810115810765.PBF"

for example:



// This file was automatically generated by Paragon script generator
// Time of creation: Thu Aug 19 07:59:16 2010
// Use Paragon Script Interpretator to run this file

// Settings block
settings
surfacetest off

select disk 0

check_error:

then

exit(errorcode(1))
endif
endcall

 

Got it! Thanks very much!!!
