Old backups won't delete as configured.
Posted: 24 Mar 2023, 20:12
Hi guys,
I've had this issue for a while now but can't seem to resolve it. On a Quick Books service PC I have Reflector running to backup local data but also QB data. It backs up every day at 2am. I have it setup for Differential Backup mode.
The backup is to to keep 2 full backup copies and 6 Differential Backup copies but I've tried just about every combo for these settings but the software never seems to remove the old copies causing the drive to fill up.
I'm not clear on the options in this window. If I have the backup set to Differential Backup (under the Dynamics tab) why is there an option for Full Backup?
Also is the Full Backup option easier to restore compared to the Differential Backup when it comes to finding and restoring specific files if it was necessary to replace a corrupt file?
Thanks guys
