non-incremental backups

Thread needs solution

Is it possible to configure Acronis backups so they are not incremental, i.e. each backup overwrites files if they are newer and leaves files as is if they are the same time or are just located on the backup archive (having been removed from the computer so they just exist on the backup disk).

Hello Philip,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

Acronis software is unable to work in this way (the described option is called something like  the backup synchronization). Acronis program is based on sector-level technology, it takes into consideration only used and unused sectors on the volume, it doesn't determine files and folder. That's why the backup synchronization is impossible for our program. 

If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
