2018 Backup Setting=Differential, SW Resets setting to Incremental ??

Thread needs solution

  When I go to "options" on TI-2018 to set up my back up theme, I choose "Full" with 4 Differential

backups before doing another "Full".  I click on "backup" and the SW does a full the first time (which is what it's supposed to do) and then the next backup does an "Incremental" instead of a "Differential".  When I go back to "options" sure enough, the setup shows Incremental.  What am I doing wrong ??

  Also I got an "update" notice this morning and in the panel telling me there was an update, there's a hot button for "read release notes".  When I clicked on it, it just takes me to the Acronis home page and I couldn't find the release notes to read "before" I downloaded the update.  So, I went ahead and clicked on the download button for the updates and when the notice panel came up to "install" the update, the hot button was there again, so I clicked on it and sure enough the release notes came up to read.

Don, when you change the Backup Scheme to have the full followed by 4 differentials, please check that you have Custom shown in the first box as below:

The above is from my own working backup which has been creating differentials without any issue for some time now.  I only have 2 before the next new full but you can set this to 4.
