Multiple identical backups on notebook but not on laptop windows 10

Thread needs solution

As stated, 256 GB usb drive rapidly fills up after several backups. Deleted Acronis several times and tried again, no luck. Seems to related more to the netbook rather than Acronis??

Daniel, sorry to hear of this problem but difficult to suggest any solutions for you without having more information from you.

What version of Windows OS is your netbook using?
What version/build of ATIH 2016 do you have?
What type of backup are you creating, what options configured etc?

Please download the Log File Viewer (link below) and use this to check for messages posted in the backup task log on the netbook.  Post some log files to the forum to let us help you with these.

Screen shots of the files filling up the USB drive and of your backup settings etc would help.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the delay, duties as assigned for this octogenerian took presidence! As time allows, I'll reply with the appropriate information you requested. Strange that the problem only occurs with my Dell notebook, not the laptop.

OK, I'm a bit late, but my USB drive recently died and I replaced it with an old USB 2T portable non-ssd. Problem solved no more duplicate backups!

 

Daniel, thanks for the feedback to close the loop on this issue, Glad to hear that the problem is solved.
