Consolidating backups
There are two kinds of backup consolidation procedures in Acronis True Image Home: automatic
consolidation and file name-based consolidation. In the case of automatic consolidation, the program
uses the rules set for backup archives. After creating a backup, the program checks the backup
archive for quota violations, such as exceeding a preset maximum number of gigabytes set aside for
backups and, if any limitation is exceeded, consolidates the oldest backups. It will combine the first
full backup with the next incremental one into one full backup which will be dated the latter backup
date. Then, if necessary, this backup will be combined with the next, until the occupied storage space
(or number of backups) decreases to the preset limit. Thus, the archive integrity will not be affected,
despite the fact that the oldest backups will be deleted.

The actual number of backups created can exceed the Maximum number of backups by one. This enables the
program to detect that the number quota was exceeded and start consolidation. Backup will be prohibited until
the consolidation finishes.

The file name-based consolidation allows deleting the backups that you do not need anymore from
any archive while maintaining the archive consistency. If required, you can delete from an archive the
base full backup. The program will create another full backup in place of the oldest remaining backup.
