Author Dumb question about Acronis

Hello,

When I make incremental backups, do I need to keep the previous incremental backups?

I am now on my 12th incremental backup. Do I need to keep 1, 2, 3, ....etc.... or is just
my latest all that is needed.

Thanks for your help.

Speak slowly and carefully. I am old.

Yes. Incrementals need ALL backups to restore. Differentials need just
the first and the latest. Check the help for a fuller explanation.
