Dynamics tab, problem in full copies to keep. Does not work.

Post by leonardowf »

In cobian backup it works sometimes, now that I've switched to cobian reflector it doesn't work and I really need this function to use it on a 4 tera external hard drive, to manage space. This dynamic function, as a suggestion, should first check how many full backups there are, if there are more than the number of full copies to keep, delete the oldest backup first and then start the new backup.

If the backup fails, then a potential good backup hes been deleted so no. The backup will be done and THEN, if successfully, then and old backup will be deleted.

I have a 4 tera external hard drive, I want to have a full backup on it, which is 1.48 tera in size, so I leave the full copies to keep, the dynamic of 1 only. It makes the full backup 2 without errors and does not delete the old one to keep 1 on the hard drive. It's not working as it should. On another client I leave 6 complete copies to keep, with a size of 130 gigs, and it reaches 8 and doesn't delete the old one to keep the 6.

Is the backup parked perhaps?
