• How can I delete old backups made with backup?

  The software that I use at home for backup allows me to program it so that I keep only full backups n.  It deletes the oldest backup automatically performed after the backup complete n + 1.

  At work, I have to use the backup utility that comes with XP Pro.  I was unable to find a way to delete older backups even manually.  As a result, my backup disk is almost full.  Although I really like the automatic deletion that makes my home software, I would be perfectly happy if I could manually delete any backups older than the nth backup complete.

  Is there somehow in the backup utility to remove these old backups?  If Yes, can someone describe how make it?  Thank you.

  Hi tochjo,

  NTBACKUP does NOT contain functionality to do this automatically.

  If you are looking for *. The BKF files and sort by date. Subsequently, remove files from your computer.

  Hope the helps of information.
  Please post back and we do know.

  I decided, after all the trouble I had with Vista and go back to the factory settings and lost my last two years of my university studies to upgrade for students out of windows 7.

  It was great to have a student, discount but it was provided in a professional and my Vista is running with Home Premium.
