Acronis backup settings for deleted files

[ALEX0264]

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section!

I have just started using Acronis True Image 2018, and want to ensure that I've configured it properly. What I want it to do is backup delete actions also, so if I delete 'file 1' on the local drive, I want 'file 1' to be deleted on the backup drive when it next runs, rather than sitting there using space.


This is the backup configuration. I'm guessing I may have this set wrong??

Hopefully I'm just overlooking something here. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

However, there are risks involved so my suggestion is to take a closer look at your backup situation and requirements.

Disk storage is not all that expensive any more and allowing files to "sit" until you make a conscious decision to permanently delete those files may be a more suitable solution.

With respect to Acronis per se, check their forums and FAQs:

https/forum.acronis.com/forum/acronis-true-image-2017-forum/deleting-files-directories-backups

Deletion may be being handled already. I.e., a full backup will delete the "deleted" files.

Just a matter of your requirements and executing backup methodologies to match your requirements.

Look at the backup options available with respect to your requirements. Keep control in your hands.

Details matter.

Great, thanks for the information. This is just what I needed to know.
