Running out of space in the backup drive
Hi,I have a Windows 7 PC with 1TB external backup drive. I set up "Windows backup" to run once a week. After so many weeks of backup, it says that the external USB hard drive is running out of space. That is expected because eventually it will run out of space, but I thought it will erase oldest data to store newest data automatically so that I don't have to pay attention.
Is there more that I need to worry about?
Thanks.

"That leaves only enough space for one System Image. " ---> Does that present a problem?

Thanks for the script and I appreciate it.
However I rather like Windows Backup program manage things for me without having to add a task on the scheduler.

Let me keep this setting and see how it works.
If I can't resolve the issue with Windows Backup only, then I will create a task for the script to run.
