Clicking BACKUP NOW button on Backup screen does FULL backup even if SCHEME=Incremental, correct?
Just a clarification.
I keep getting FULL backups even though I have the Scheme set to "Incremental + full ever 20 incrementals", scheduled for Tues and Thurs's.
I suspect that when I click The BACKUP NOW on teh Backup screen (lower right button) it's doing a FULL backup, rather than just executing the next scheduled backup, right?
UX suggestion: Change that button (or put a tooltip on it "Full Backup")

If you run a full and go in and mess with the script and save, you have reset the version chain and it will run a full again. Make sure to run a couple of backups without making any changes to the backup task as editing the backup task always resets the version chain. If that isn't the issue, then the service logs are definitely the place to start. If you want to post some of the most recent service logs and some snapshots of your scheduled settings, that would help too.
