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.

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.
