    Auto deleting of backups?


    Hi
    I recently purchased a couple of Buffalo portable HDDs and decided to use their backup software. One disk is now full and I realised I had to personally delete the oldest backups. The utility provides no capacity to automate this.
    Is this usual? I'm happy to use other recommended backup software with these HDDs if they offer such a facility. I am backing up my C drive that currently only has 370GB used. The HDDS are 1TB.
    Bill
    PS. I should note that I am using Bitdefender AV that came with O&O DiskImage but I have not yet tried to use that. Is it any good?

    Macrium Reflect offers automatic deletion of image file backups, but I can't vouch for how well it works.

My AppData folder is getting too big. I found I have 4 GB taken up from what appear to be backups of various iPods, in the Roaming folder under AppData. I hope it is OK to recycle these. -Sean

I have a 2TB drive and I'm doing bi-daily backups to it of my build server I have (Its just a standard Win 7 Home PC). Problem I'm having is, instead of backing up and if the space is limited deleting the oldest one and keeping the newest its just failing? And I can't for the life of me see...
