How to Tell Acronis TI to Backup just the Drive I selected

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis True Image  2020 for backing up my PC.
Here is my question.
 

  • I have a C drive that is 1.81TB with 1.55TB free so that's about 260 GB of data.
  • Originally it was 350 GB. I made an Acronis backup as incremental, Selecting the C Drive and I ended up with a file 880GB. I'm assuming it backed up the entire drive, empty space included.
  • So I moved about 80 GB of games to another drive, and this time made it a stand alone backup and ended up with a file 884GB, slightly larger! Would stand alone in itself result in more data stored than an incremental backup?

What am I not getting or what setting have I overlooked?  It seems to me that Acronis is backup up the entire drive, including empty parts. How do I tell it just to back up the data? I figure it if is compressing the backups, I should end up with a file less than 260GB.
Thanks!
