Backup Scheme Not Working - Continues To Keep All Backup Jobs Instead Of Space Managing
I'm using a full backup scheme on my system with the retained number of backups set to 2. However, AOMEI Backupper seems to ignore that setting and just keep every backup job until there is no more disk space and jobs begin to fail. I'm using v6.2.0 and this has been a problem with every version since I first started using AOMEI in 2016.
In past versions the scheme would sometimes work, sometimes fail, but in the end it was up to me to keep checking to make sure my backup drives weren't getting overfilled with numerous backups. Now, this version seems to completely ignore the "number of backups" limitation I set via schemes so I have to manually clean up the extra backups every couple of weeks or so.
I get no errors, no warnings, no popups explaining something went wrong - just failed backups due to lack of space because schemes don't seem to work properly.

I also have 3 other drives I backup using schemes and none of them limit the number no matter the setting. They seem to have finally fixed the BSOD/lost backups issue, now they need to fix the scheme not working consistently, if at all.
You can send them to our support email.
Could you also send us the log folder and task2.2.xml file?
