Setting backup regime properties

The backup regime properties include the name of the computer being backed up, the minimum number of days to keep backups, and whether or not the backups are scheduled.

Incremental and baseline images are deleted as a set, so a particular backup image may not be deleted immediately after the minimum number of days to keep it has expired. A backup image is not deleted until all dependent images are deleted.

If you have a baseline image, and several incremental images that rely on the baseline, nothing is deleted until the most recent incremental backup is older than the specified minimum number of days to keep backups. Once the most recent incremental backup passes the minimum number of days, the entire set of backups (baseline image and all dependent incremental images) is deleted.
