"Consolidatied Backup" message

Thread needs solution

I take a daily incremental backup of some files on a NAS.  On April 30 I started getting a new message at the end of the backup:

3/30/2018 10:02:53 AM: -08:00 2076 I000B0000: Consolidate Backup Archive Location: F:\My Backups\Networked Files\Networked Files_inc_b5_s6_v1.tib Destination: F:\My Backups\Networked Files\Networked Files_inc_b5_s6_v1_6C2861B2-233F-49C3-A643-F0DD75D4DC4D.tib

The message now appears in every backup - full or incremental - created by this task.  (It is not happening in a partions backup - the only other regularly scheduled backup I take.)   "_inc_b5_s6_v1" refers to the file just created.  The string of hex characters is different in each message but the number of characters in each field is the same.  If such a file is actually created it is deleted by the time I look in the backup directory.

I'm not aware of changing any options in the backup task but I was diagnosing problems around then so may have inadvertently changed something.

Any idea what this is about?  I'm pretty sure it doesn't indicate a problem but I would like to know why it suddenly started happening and what, if anything, it is trying to tell me.

Patrick, the placing of this message will give the context for what consolidation means here.

In one of my own logs I see the following when Automatic Cleanup is performed.
