Consolidating backup
Hi all,
Ok, this has been going on for years (I've had True Image since version 2012 and currently have 2015 but I am BETA testing 2016).
Anyway's, after every single incremental backup, it will always do "consolidating backup" and it takes forever. Is there a way to make it NOT do this? I hate that it does it because it means I have to leave my laptop on pretty much overnight, it takes that long.
Now, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but I run my backups like once every 3 months, so it tends to be a lot of data.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks so much for the speedy response!
It definitely says consolidating backup. =\
However, what about the current backups? Is there no way to 'convert' them? Or, do I just have to suck it up and start a new set?

You can keep the backups--if you have the space. It is the consolidation which is causing the delay.
It is also the consolidation process which has caused others to lose some their backups and the resulting backups not be restorable.
The Full backups have definite keeping value and maybe the other but I do recommend that you start over with a new task.

Interesting, I have recently experience Consolidating Back up with ATI 2016, specifically after updating to build 6027; see here:
