Large incremental backup file size

Thread needs solution

I have TIH 2013 Home from which I just made a full back of all drives of about ~325GB. That was yesterday. I made very few changes since then, e.g. a few graphics downloads and a couple of new Word .docs. If I go to schedule an incremental backup now, it's telling me it will backup the same amount of data and will take over 6 hours. Why?

Hi Andrew,
You aren't doing a sector by sector back up right? If you start the operation, I think you'll find that the task completes much more quickly. The actual time needed will be re-calculated like windows does, and we all know how accurate that can be (smile).
