Hello,
cobian 2.1 does not make differential copies, it makes full copies every time, but in the options I checked the right options?

OK, so its making separated differential backups.

But you want to keep only 2 differentials and make 1 full every 20 differentials. But how do you get to 20 differentials if you only will have 2 differentials max?

Thank you for your clarification
I didn't know that this could cause problems.
Can you advise me how to do this?
This is my situation:
a) I have a lot of files that take a lot of time to save. That's why I make a full copy after 20 days. Maybe I should remove this option.
b) my backup hard drive does not allow more than 4 full backups
