Changing the history item to Parked. Reason: not creating separated backups

The above is happening.

SETTINGS:
No to seperate backups with time stamps
Yes to Incremental

Windows 8.1 x two.
Both new installs.
I copied the DB across from the previous Windows 7 build.
Uninstalled, reinstalled.
I found out about dot net 3.5, to enable, in win8 for the VSS.

But this error comes up in the logs.

Does anyone have a clue how to fix it.

This happens to prevent the program to automatically delete your backup. Because you are not creating separated backups, you end up with only one copy of your files. The backup parking flag indicates to the program to never automatically delete those files.

I have the same issue.

When I manually start the incremental backup (to check it executes) I get the same error:
"Changing the history item to Parked. Reason: not creating separated backups"

I understand it can't delete the single backup, so what are our options? I would have thought that Cobian should be adding to the existing backup rather than deleting it?

I also deleted the destination directory so that it was empty and ran the script again. Same error in the logs.

I've included screenshots of script and log. Any tips or advice would be greatly received.

Thanks,
Boris

"Changing the history item to Parked. Reason: not creating separated backups" is NOT an error. It's NOT marked as an error.
