Backup - Differential
I am using AHTI2010 on Win 7x64. I have a folder that I use for images, I did a full backup a few weeks ago. I came back from a trip, added about 3 gigs of images to the folder. I went to back up as a differential last night, and it took almost an hour; it basically did another full backup to the external HD! This is not a disk that I format frequently, at least not since I installed this new version. I do a split backup so I can make a redundant backup by coping it to DVD's. This was never an issue in Home 10. If this is how it works with differential backups, I am sunk when it comes to making disks, way too much waste. Am I missing something in the process, thanks.

Should I just choose Differential, will it make the first full backup, and then the subsequent are differential? I choose Full, and on the second backup I changed it to Differential, was that the wrong sequence? So, the last backup that I choose as Diffenetial, is that a "Full" backup of those files, and from now on the backups will be Differentials?
