Other Backups - File Backup

Thread needs solution

My email kept crashing and deleted all my folders and recovered my email under a different folder. So I have been backing it up almost daily. I selected "Other backups," then "File Backup," selected the drive and folder where my emails are stored and selected the "Incremental" backup scheme after initial backup. However, every backup shows that it was a full backup and are pretty much the same size. I don't think it should do a full backup up every time. It sure is filling up my backup drive in a hurry. Please advise.

Are you running a defrager on a regular basis (it might be set for automatic in W7 and 8)? This would be one reason the backups seem to eb the same size, the other could be is your email program regenerating its database or saving copies on a regular basis?

What email client are you using?

What happens if you select email backup from the 'other' list instead of just a file backup?

What build are you using of TI.

What email client do you have?
