Post Delete old backups when disk is full

Hi,
The backup disk is full so the backups will fail.
Does Professional/Enterprise version handles the problem? if so, how? Does it delete older backups untill enought space is available?

I'm running on Community license.

The current solution (in enterprise/professional version) lets you specify rules, when to delete backup sets mostly depending on their age. So a solution simply to delete the oldest backup sets, if there is no more space left, does currently not exists; but will definitely come to the next major release (to professional/enterprise licenses).

Sure, is there a way to run only Scan without copying anything? this way I could get the data of how much space is going to be copied and then I would know if I have to delete old stuff.

Unfortunately at this time: no. Please delete the backup set(s) outside of hardlinkbackup (windows explorer; or - needed especially when long paths are contained via command line with "RemoveDir.exe" from the HardlinkBackup-Installation directory). Deleting backup sets outside of HardlinkBackup is safe, if Hardlink-Mode is used.
