windows backup- 2012R2

Hi, i just got a windows backup service running in a server 2012R2. its backing up the hole server for approx 700GB to an iscsi target.
target space is 750GB. backup works one day , next day it fails because of no space. normally backup service deletes itself the old copy before running the next backup. am not sure why it is not happening in my case. if i delete old backups manually its succeeding next day. then again fails because of no space.
Could anyone help me with this

thank you

Which backup software are you using? Give your space limitation, you would be best served using a mix of full and differential backups. But in the overall scheme of things, you need t increase the space so that you can properly retain backup data.
