TI 2020 Backup File Sizes

Thread needs solution

TI 2020 Backup File Sizes When creating a full disk backup using TI2020, the file name of the first backup was PM5.tibx. The second backup was PM5-0001.tibx. The last four digits incremented with each additional backup. I’m now up to PM5-0022.tibx. The files PM5-0001tibx - PM5-0022.tibx are all over 28GB each (as I would expect) but the first file PM5.tibx is only 12KB. On one of my other PCs the first file PM4.tibx is about the same size as all of the subsequent backup files. Why is it that on some of my PCs, the first backup file is much smaller than the subsequent files but on other PCs the first backup file is about the same size as the subsequent files? Thanks. Peter

With automatic cleanup, older versions will be removed but the original file will always stay with a size of 12KB. It contains some data about the backup task and must not be deleted. If the original is still large then it contains the backup which has not be cleaned up yet.
