How does Aconis determine what to backup in an Incremental
I am running Vista 64 bit and for 5 weeks now, it has been running very smoothly each night. I am NOT using sector by sector backups.
On Monday AM, I run a FULL backup, but copy all of previous week backups to a different HDD. On every other morning I run an INCREMENTAL.
Question: how does Acronis True Home 2009 determine what is to be backed up from one day to the next. Some days the INCREMENTAL size is 8GB, other days it is 2GB.
Thanks

So disk/volemes backup is bytes based?
Does Files backup also copy only byte differences or whoe files?
Does enabling fast incremental backup forces to copy whole files? (I would prefer to have full filles and not be dependent on previous backups).

I have ATI11H (very pleased with it) running it on XP Home Edition v.5.1
I did an initial Full Backup by sectors when I created a full drive- image. When following up with incremental or differential backups, do I need to specify either of those also "by sectors?" Could not find the answer in the manual.
Thanks for the help.

My "guess" would be they would be the same as when the task was created and the same as when the full backup was created. Since the incremental or differential selection is a part of the same task which created the full, it is all one package.
