Backups keep growing and growing

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm running ATI Home 2010 on a Windows 7 x64 machine and have scheduled a backup task covering two folder with pictures - about 60 gigs in total. After running the task for about two months, the destination folder now contain 46 backup files 260 gigs in total.

What's happening here? The task is set up to do incremental backups, and the source folders are updated about every other week when I empty my camera's memory card. The backup task create files 2-15 gigs large without anything being added to the source folders.

I really don't want to delete any of the backup archives as I have no idea what they might contain but my backup disk is running out space.

In Windows 7, isn't the defrag program set to automatic as the default. Check this and set the timiing to your choice. Since TI saves any disk changes, it is saving all the changes made by defrag.
