Backup, creating alt backup using Task Scheduler

Ricopersaud — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:22:32 +0000

My question is I want to create a scheduled full system back up to run 1x a week. But also, i want to run a incremental back up daily.

Problem:

I want the daily incremental backup to basically be a full system back up as well, completely separate from the one i have running once a week.

Now i know i will eventually run out of space on the server or station housing the backup files, Is there any way of having the system keep all 7 of the daily backups , but delete off the oldest back up whenever the newest back up is created?

Is this possible???
