What you describe is exactly why I started this thread in the first place. Apparently TB! will refuse to overwrite the previous backup because the filename has already been used. I don't need/want my external backup drive filling up with full backups with different filenames. I suppose one might be able to use TASK SCHEDULER to execute a batch file which would delete the previous backup prior to TB! doing a scheduled full backup. Actually, you could make the argument that it's risky *NOT* to have previous backups in case something in TB! went hinky and you've just erased the previous GOOD backup and replaced it with a corrupt backup. I dunno. Maybe we're not looking at this with eyes wide open. -- Jack LaRosa mailto:jlar...@charter.net Sticking with with The Bat! ver: 4.0.38 for now.
