My current client has a backup hard drive, a My Book 250 to be exact, and Windows Backup does just fine backing up files to it.  However, when the My Book is full, the backup ceases to work.  Since I am not here every day, I would like to try and find a way to have the backup software recognize that when the backup device is full that it will just delete the oldest backups and continue on.

Currently I have downloaded and installed Cobian backup to run the backups and deleted the past backups.  I set up an incremental backup system with the hopes that Cobian will do this for me.  This is a free program.

Does anyone know if Cobian, or any other backup software has this capability?

I should be here for about another hour or two working on other things.  Let me know if you have any suggestions, even if it is after my appointment has completed.  This issue comes up quite often.

Email Apps: HitMeLater Re-Sends Email When You Want It
Managing your email through a follow-up system (like our own Trusted Trio) is the best way to stem the endless tide, but sometimes you might not trust yourself to get back to something on time. HitMeLater, a free email service, will re-send any emails you forward to it, based on when you said to send it. So when mom emails to ask you for an answer Friday on the gift you’re getting your sister, forward it to friday@hitmelater.com, and it appears at the top of your inbox Friday. The author says the site’s “secure” and “spamless,” but I don’t see a visible privacy policy. It shouldn’t be a primary mail manager, but HitMeLater could be handy when you’re checking mobile email or need double-assurance that you’ll follow up on a message. No registration required.
