    Managing outdated Win7 backup and restore files

    Our small non-profit is running about 12 computers on Windows 10 and using Win7 Backup & Restore to backup to a networked drive (NAS).

    Here is an example of how typical backed up folders are titled:

    Backup Set 2017-02-13

    Backup Files 2017-02-13

    Backup Files 2017-02-20

    Backup Files 2017-02-27



    The first Backup Files folder is typically large, and the subsequent Backup Files folders are much smaller. This leads me to believe that the subsequent folders are only incremental backups, and the entire set is necessary to do a full restore.



    What is an effective strategy of deleting outdated backup files to be efficient with disk space?




    • I can delete the entire Backup Set and get a fresh backup at the next scheduled backup time, but that leaves me unprotected in the interim.



    • Deleting the older Backup Files folders (e.g. 2017-02-13) will leave me with an incomplete backup (I think).



    • Never deleting any of the backups will result in a bloated backup (I think).
    Thanks for your help!

    2. The PC will reboot and get into the Recovery Environment
    3. Click on Trouble Shoot->Advanced Options->System Restore.

    Backup and Restore win7 fails after successfully starting

    Backup (Win7 version) says can't find windows.old


    I'm using the Win7 Backup and Restore on my Win 10 system. Sometime after he big update happened I decided to get rid of the C:\Windows.old\ folder and used Disk Cleanup to do it. It said it did but some parts of the folder remained. IIRC I manually deleted the left over parts. So now there is no Windows.old folder.

    However, subsequent backups have reported that some files were skipped and lists C:\Windows.old\ as the skipped file.
    I have used system Error Checking facility to check the C disk and it says everything is fine. And Disk Cleanup does not list any previous versions of Windows to clean.

    I believe the backups are OK but I don't like the backup saying it didn't complete successfully.

    Suggesting on how to make this error go away?
