Looking for some backup software with automatic space management

Hi,

Does anyone know of some backup software that will take daily incrementals but also manage the space by eventually removing old/deleted files?>

I can't use Windows Backup unfortunately as I need to have two separate backup jobs to two separate backup disks for both my data drives.

Thanks.

Macrium Reflect.

Just having a look now and it looks like that only manages the space by removing full backups? I can only store one full backup on my destination drive so need it to manage incrementals.

Ah, think I've figured it out. Only slight problem is it'll have to delete the entire backup set every month or so when I tell it to create a new full one which is a little risky.

Duplicati might be more suitable.

Thanks, just gave it a try but that one works very similarly unfortunately. It only works with limiting the amount of full backups you have rather than taking incrementals and merging them with the full backup every so often.
