Backup versions and size problems

Thread needs solution

I manually do individual System and C: full backups with a new title. Presently it is about a 70 GB backup. On the Acronis backup recovery page the latest back up shows Versions: 15 Total Size: 749.02 GB.
When I check the external HD backup drive it shows the backup correctly at 70GB.

I am having the same problem when I back up my document D: Partition. I do an incremental backup set for 2 increments. Again a 161 GB backup shows up on the Acronis backup recovery page as a 682 GB backup and Versions: 14. This a new backup setting with a different name than prior backups. The backup size is correct on the external HD.

The OS is Win 7 Home the backups are via eSata to 2 TB drives

How do I solve this.

- use different backup directories for different tasks,
- shutdown ATI,
- go to C:\programdata\Acronis\TrueIMageHome\Database\
- rename archives.xml to archives.OLD
- restart ATI and validate your backups.

Did that fix the size issue?
