Incremental Backup

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

I usually perform incremental backups of my systems. I did notice that the total of all of the incremental backup files is more than double the total spaced being used. Besides the length of time that it takes to perform incremental versus full backups is there any benefit to using this method? I have used about 75 gb of my 146 gb hard drive on my computer but Acronis is showing over 100 gb in the five backup files that are associated with my backup group for this backup.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Rob

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your post. I will definitely assist you with resolving this issue.

First of all, can you please tell me about your version of Acronis and what build number it is. Also, what is your OS?

How big are the incremental backups? Do you have scheduled defragmention on by any chance? If you do, this could cause this problem, you can read more about it in this KB article.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
