How do I find out what files have changed between backups?

Thread needs solution

Hi there,

Im doing incremental backups and all looks good, however im finding that my incrementals are working out at around 20gb each time.. Im sure Im not changing 20gb of files and Im wondering how I can find out which files are changing so I can decide if I can set them as exclusions

Check if you have any type of automatic defrag or automatiic tuneup going which might be moving data. Acronis tracks used disk sectors--not changed files.

I ve checked and Degrag is turned off (Windows 8.1 + SSD) so thats not the issue.. and I dont have any tuneup programz running..

Im thinking it might be outlook, so Im going to get it to ignore the outlook PST files as they can be quite large.. and redundant to backup given that they are (mostly) serverside anyway...

Still is it possible to get a report on whats changed?

There is nothing provided to indicate what has changed or included.
Your only option is manual comparison.

This may be of assistance.
GH46. Use "TreeSize Free" to compare 2 partitions sorted by folder size.
