No way to perform an incremental backup in True Image 2013

Thread needs solution

I want to do an incremental backup on a previous full backup but every time I try I get a new full backup that is about the same size as the previous full backup. It should not be the same size as I'm backing up a whole drive and almost nothing has changed. I have the backup type set to "incremental".

Is this from the CD or from within Windows?

If from within Windows, look at picture 11-Inc inside this link.

You must have a task created with your option settings and the first backup will be a full backup.
Pressing "BAckup NOW" (or if scheduled), the next backup will be an inc--if you have inc as the backup type.

Many other factors involved. My recommendation is to create a new task pointing to an empty target folder and set your backup to retain x number of inc;s and x number of current versions--as shown in the example.
