I understand, but the stats are:

There are 6 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of: 

10 full backups of total size 44.55GB (prior to pooling and compression), 
15 incr backups of total size 8.44GB (prior to pooling and compression). 

I have servers which have multiple full backups and incrementals, but neither
is removed.

Is there a way I can just manually delete some of the backups (incrementals
and fulls) to start this process again? as I can't seem to do anything while
the disks are full and the timeout processes are not working.

Thanks.

Michael.
