How does the software operate as it approaches full capacity? Are older backups deleted to make room for new ones? Do old ones get archived on a less frequent basis, i.e., weekly or monthly? Thanks.

What are you using to do your backups with? I use SmartWare. It is hard to answer a question if one does not know what is being talked about.
Thanks for responding. I took it as a given that I was using WD Backup, my mistake. I have it set for daily backups of a specified set of directories. I’m using a 4 TB drive that is essentially full. It just today produced a message that it couldn’t complete the backup because it did not have enough space. This is on a PC. I have a Mac and the software I use there retains hourly backups for x days, daily backups for x weeks, weekly backups for x months, etc. The WD software doesn’t seem to have any way to set that. I’d gladly switch to different software if you have one that works better. Thanks.
I don’t know about WD Backup, my My Cloud is the 1st generation and since I use SmartWare I have it set to three copies. See example image below.
Have you checked to see if WD Backup has this type of option?
