Hi all,

With "ABR11 Workstation", I created a periodic task which performs an "incrementell file backup" of my data every hour (similiar to ATIH's Non Stop Backup).

When the PC is not used, I would expect that only a few data is backuped. But ABR says that each archive has a size of approximately 500MB. When I look at the TIB file, it has a size of just 7MB.
So now I want to find out what's really being saved at each run.

Question #1)
Why does ABR report 500MB, but the TIB file has a size of 7MB? Is it a bug?

Question #2)
How do I get a list of all files which have been backuped in a single incrementell run? It would be okay to recover all files of a single incrementell run to a temporary location and then do a search, but how do I do that? (I mean the recover, not the search)

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Axel

1)

That may mean that really only few data is indeed backuped. There are several columns about archive size in the vault view, which one reads 500 mb?

2) It's impossible. Moreover, incremental backup may contain only changed blocks of a certain partially changed file.

I had only one column "size of backup data". That's 500MB.
Now I added "used space" and that one shows 7MB.
"Original data size" shows 480GB.

What does the column "size of backup data" mean?

Too bad. There should be a logfile or something.

That's good.

Axel, you may want to switch to volume backup.
Then you could compare the backup and live system drive with e.g. http://winmerge.org/
Mounting a file backup with a drive letter unfortunately is not possible.
