Need Daily Incremental in a new file each day
Hi. Long time user. First time writer. :) Er, yep...
I recently purchased True Image 2021 Standard, upgrading from 2015, when I build a new Windows 10 computer.
I'm trying to configure the backup scheme to work so that I have a Full backup, and then every day thereafter I get an Incremental. The issue is that daily Incremental needs to be in a new file, and seems to instead be expanding the single file.
My use case is that my backups are going onto a NAS, that itself has a cloud backup service.
Modifying and expanding the 1TB TIBX daily make it impossible to maintain for offsite mirroring.
How do I make a new Incremental file each day?
From searches, I found discussion on "version 11" vs "version 12" schemes, but am not finding this in settings; it may be an outdated reference, or relate to a different Acronis product.
Thanks in advance.

Steve,
I found some KB articles after my post, while it was pending moderation, that illuminated the 2020 change. I have to say this is a pretty disappointing limitation.
That said - Thank you for your quick response here, and for the forum post you wrote/linked. I'd hoped there was some workaround to make this possible.
What I ended up doing last night was taking a TIB image I made of the system using ATI 2015, after I first installed Windows and my core programs, before I upgraded to ATI 2020. Going back to that image, I was able to load it into ATI 2021 and make an Incremental scheme with new files for each iterative backup.
I think what I did will work, but it's not ideal - my "full" backup is 22GB and then the first incremental is ~400GB. Don't think that matters, but I'll probably give the approach you outlined a try. If only because I want to change the encryption options.
Thanks again!
