How to reduce backup size?

Recommended Posts

I'm using Retrospect 6.5 to back up to a network drive using incremental backup.

 

The network drive is now almost full, and I would like to nuke the older backup info (say everything older than 30 days).

 

Can anyone explain how to do this?

 

Since it's an incremental backup, it's unclear to me how to proceed.

 

Thanks!

It is not possible to selectively delete data from a backup set. Your options are to Recycle the entire set (which erases all contents) or do a backup set transfer of only the data you would like to keep (use a Date selector) to another backup set. This option would require additional hard drive space. Once the transfer is complete, you can recycle the contents of the original backup set.
