Automatic Deletion of old backups
I am backing up two source drives (C: and W:) each with a separate .CMD script file, to a large Raid drive Y:. Backups are working fine. Drive C: is backing up to Y:\Images\Drive-C, and Drive W: is backing up to Y:\Images\Drive-W. However, the system is not automatically removing the old backups when Y: gets full. Is it necessary to have a separate backup drive for each source drive? Or do you have another suggestion?

Re: Automatic Deletion of old backups
The only automatic handling of files is in simple operations mode.
For traditional mode, you have to handle it, either via the /purge
option or using one of the scripts available to you via the downloads
page for Image for Windows at the website.
