Windows Server Backup 2008 - "auto-delete" function not working

We setup full scheduled backups and they seem to be working OK for a while, but now that the backup drive is full, older backups are not being deleted and backups are failing.

We were getting below errors for a while
(EventID:51) Backup target is running low on free space. Future backups to this target may fail for want of enough space.

Then started getting below errors
(EventID:50) Backup failed as required space was not available on the backup target.
(EventID:7) Backup started at '1/2/2009 8:05:39 PM' failed with following error code 2155348010.

We have some servers running on Windows 2008 server Hyper-V guests on Windows 2008 server standard hosts and we are experiencing this problem on more than one servers.
We do:
 - Full Server backup (Backup size:78.94GB)
 - Backup destination: 300GB iSCISI connected disk
 - Backup was scheduled using Windows Server Backup UI
 - "Always perform full backup" is selected
 - We don't run any other backup program on this server
 - This issue is happening on Windows 2008 server Hyper-V guests

Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Noriko
