The first method is to clear the existing backup before running the new one. To do that, please follow these steps:
  • Open Backup4all, select the backup job you want to clear the previous backup for and go to Backup Properties(Ctrl+P)->Advanced->Actions tab.
  • In the "Before backup" section, check "Run program/action" option so that the <Clear backup> tag is shown
  • Click Save.
The second method is to limit the number of backups. To do that, please follow these steps:
  • Open Backup4all, go to Backup Properties(Ctrl+P)->Types
  • Set the "Limit maximum number of stored backups to" option.
  • Type a number limit and click Save.

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?"
