Any place to find what files have changed from bu to bu?
I have both Weekly and Daily backup routines set to different drives, and am surprised to see incremental backups of up to 2.6GB from one day to the next. This out of 127GB Full backup. Now, I am the only user of this computer and I change just a handful of files every day, then email (Thunderbird), and I'm surprised at the size of the files that have changed.
I DL'ed the Log Viewer and at least the ti_demon log shows only exclusions.
Is there any ATI log file that shows what files have changed and are thus in the incremental backup?

Many thanks Bobbo for your explanation. I can't deny that my backups are ridiculously fast, something like 10 minutes to do a full backup and only one or two for incremental, and that is of paramount importance.
Today again I have a 2.5GB incremental daily backup...I will stop concerning myself with it now that you've explained "sector differences"--I can well imagine lots of things getting moved-around as I fiddle with this computer!
Thanks again.

Roger that! Yeah, lots of little changes can add up. Just logging off and logging in creates a bunch of new Windows log files and things of that nature. And other %appdata% changes from programs can do the same... things like iTunes can make huge changes to %appdata% when you take an iOS device backup.

Added reference to this topic as a vote for the feature request (internal ID TI-160287 Show which files were written in an incremental\diff backup). Thank you!
