Many backup plans involve the creation of multiple backup archives or folders over time on the same backup medium, as is often the case with incremental and differential backups. At some point the used backup medium will be full and new backups won't be able to be written to the medium if old ones don't get deleted.
Z-DBackup allows you to automatically delete old backup archives or folder directly before or after a backup.

Automatically delete old backups (not available in the freeware version)

If chronological backups are activated, e.g. with differential or incremental  backups, Z-DBackup can automatically delete old backup files. It can delete files depending on their age (in days) or the number of files in the backup folder, or a combination of the two.

For a differential weekday backup  (5 days) a suitable setting would be:

Do not delete full backup (not available in the freeware version)
If this option is activated, the last differential (or incremental ) full backup is not deleted. Point of reference is the date of the last full backup, i.e. all backups that were created on the same day as the last full backup will not be deleted automatically.
