The way my Cobian is setup I am doing a full on Sunday nights and a differential nightly. My backups are appearing is with a date folder and creating new folders each day. The drives are only 60GB so eventually I will run out of space. I really only need the latest backups. Is there a way I can format my flash drive every say couple days or weeks?
I attached a image. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Advice how to avoid running out of space on flash drive
forfiles Help you. Something like that ...
forfiles /p D:\Test\ /d -2 /c "cmd /c del @path /q"
In this case, deleting files older than two days.
Parameter "/d -2"
Place the bat file after completing the task.

Re: Advice how to avoid running out of space on flash drive
Thank you for that. I am not sure where exactly to put it. As you can see from my screenshot that is what my backups look like daily. I have 3 folders:
1. CAI
2. Crystal Delivery
3. EndofDay
My ideal scenario is to have a full backup of these folders on the thumb drive, daily. I am testing with differential as well. Not sure if this is the most efficient way to accomplish my needs. Maybe you could provide some insight as well? THANKS!

You can also limit your differential copies in the "Dynamics" tab if this is of any help...
