Backup Running out of Room

[phil6666]

Been doing a daily backup of my C: drive to a 20 gig partition on a
second HD in the PC for about 3 weeks.

Now I'm getting messages that this partition is running out of room.

1) Is there a way to automatically only save the last 5 or 6 backups?

2) VISTA help says to delete backups as labelled such as: "Backup Set
2007-05-13 163200"

What I show is a folder called "Backup Set 2007-05-13 163200" with
sub-folders for each day called "Backup Files 2007-05-13 163200" thru
today's date.

Do I just delete some of the earlier dates (sub-folders)???

thnx

I had ONE folder marked "Backup Set 2007-05-13 163200"

I then had daily folders marked "Backup Files 2007-05-13 163200" thru
"Backup Files 2007-06-01 163200"

I deleted some of the Backup File Dates to save room, but now VISTA
tells me it can't make more backups.

Oh well.....I just started a new series of back-ups.

(I'm not a PC expert, but I'm far from a newbie and this "free"
program is fair from simple to use or to follow their instructions on
how to make room!!!!)

thnx MS!!!!!!!

I appreciate your help, but I think I'm at the mercy of the pros at
MS!

I went this link yesterday:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Wi...50-fe33-41a0-b7f6-233d7fe4460a1033.mspx#ESAAC

Unfortunately, it really doesn't seem to explain what exactly to do if
your HD is running out of space from repetitive backups!

Maybe they guess want you to delete all of them and start over!!??
