How do I do incremental back ups, but then later they compress into one?
I'm doing incremental backups, which in theory, is a great idea. The only problem, is that after a while, your backup disc is full.
So what I need to do, I guess, is to figure out how to do incrementals like I've been doing, but at some point, have the original full back up, and all the incremental back ups, compress down (or better word for it is to merge) onto each other, so that it's ONE file. Otherwise it will always get to the point, to where the disc is full, when the disc it's backing up, is the same size as the back up disc (they're both 1T drives).

asdf asdf,
There is a way to consolidate versions of backups (manually or automatically), but this process is very time consuming and requires as much free space as the biggest file to be consolidated into. As a result, it tends to be error prone.
See here for example: http://forum.acronis.com/forum/27067
I'd stick wtih Grover's recommendation.
