Full backup question

Post by ddelbiondo »

I only have enough room for 1 full backup on my NAS. Will running a full backup remove the current one automagically before running? Or do I need to run a clean up first to remove the existing full backup before running the new full backup?

Thanks,
David

Hi,

Here is the answer for other users finding this post.
If there is not enough free disk space in destination for multiple backups, you need to follow these steps to keep only 1 version of the backup:
1. Open Backup Properties (Ctrl+P)->Advanced
2. In the "Run action before backup" section, check the "Run program or action"
3. Press Save.

Now, every time you run a backup, the existing backup is deleted and the new one is created.
Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
