Does Server 2012 R2 Windows Backup automatically deletes the oldest backup? What is the default behavior?

Hi,

I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Native backup.  I have a dedicated drive that stores all backup. Let's call this Drive E.  See picture below on how my backup is setup.

I noticed that the Backup uses all available free space and delete the oldest backup only when the drive is full.  Is that the out of the box expectation? I don't see the option in Windows Server Backup that allows me to setup the overwrite protection.  In this case, I want to delete the backup automatically if it's 30 days old.  As you can see in the picture below, 12/25/19 is still available.  I can manually delete the backup, but I want to know if this is the expected behavior and how I can automate it using Windows native backup?

Thank you.
