Deleting old full backup after incremental is done

Help - CB
1

Hi all,

I want to fully understand incremental and full backups so please help me out with this question. I want to know if I can delete old full and incremental backups as long as I keep the most recent full and most recent incremental backups? here is the scenario

Lets say I do a full backup January 1st. Then I do incremental backups every day for the week and then a new full backup on January 7th and then incremental backups for that next week and do another full backup on January 14th. Now, can I safely delete the full and incremental backups from the week of January 1st till January 6th?

The reason I ask is that I have massive amount of data that I want to backup and I don’t want to keep buying terabytes of harddrives every now and then

Thanks

Doesn’t anybody know the difference?

Yes, you can.
This can also be achieved automatically in CB by using macro feature in backup step 3 with the option to reset the macro every 7 runs.

Thanks
