Cobian Reflector • Re: Differential and Full Backup Every settings interaction

Full copies to keep . Say it's set to 3, I assume it will automatically delete the oldest Full backup when a 4th full backup is done?

Yes

Differential/Incremental Make a full backup every"... If set to say 5, will it make the full backup on 5th or 6th backup? (i.e would that be 4 differential then full or 5 differential then full)?

It will keep 5 differentials. Next time full.

I assume the "Full copies to keep" logic still applies to this setting?

Yes

If I want to keep all differentials between full backups do I keep the "Differential copies to keep" setting at 0?

Yes

What should happen if the "Differentials copies to keep" is set to the same or a greater value than "Make a full backup every"?

Many settings on this tab can contradict each other, so try always to keep it simple... Full every will take over.
