I am using incremental backup. How can I clear all backed up files and start with a fresh full backup every 7 days?

Open Backup Properties dialog for the backup job. Go to the Advanced page, check Run program/action before backup, choose <Clear backup> from the combo box and edit it to <Clear backup d=7>. This will clear the backed up files only if 7 days have passed since the first backup run. If you check the Run only once option, the <Clear backup d=7> action will be executed only once (when 7 days have passed) and after that it will be disabled.

ReviewsReviews

"To be honest, I always say <<I'll burn that backup folder someday this week>> and the week passes without having my files backed up.

Reviews

With Backup4all this issue can disappear, and the stress related to <<what if my hard drive crashes>> problem will disappear. I think that I'll leave the backup tasks for this program from now on. What about you?"
