Problem to solve destination drive full

Post by oliviedu37 »

Hello

I'm using Cobian Reflector 2.6.50 for Windows10 to backup my datas.
I created two jobs :
1 - Full backup every Sunday 8PM
2 - Incremental backup everyday Monday-Friday
The problem is : my destination drive is Full after several backups

How to setup parameters to remove the oldest "Full backup" once the last full backup succeed, and/or when the HD is Full ?

Note - I have setup Dynamic parameter on 2 but more are kept and none removed automatically. I have to scroll destination drive to remove oldest full backup...

Thank you for any answer / suggestion / idea

Best Regards

If you're encountering a "destination drive full" error, it means the drive where you're trying to save or transfer files is out of space. You'll need to free up space on that drive or choose a different destination with sufficient storage capacity.GB whatsapp apk

Hello,

I forgot this : I run and install the Cobian Reflector as local administrator (my local windows10 account) .

This morning I manually start a full copy to start and the 'journal' says : "The user performing the task is: System"

Coud it be the reason why oldest backup are not removed ?

System is the most powerful account, so I doub this is the reason.
