Performed a full back up to an external drive & ended up with 22 versions
I performed a disk & partition backup that took over an hour to an external hard drive.
My external hard drive now has 22 versions of what appears to be the same info when you open up any one of the 22 versions. Each one shows my C: drive with all of my info on it. Each version is exactly 4.194 Gigs and they look like this:

My partitions_full_b1_s1_v2.tib 11/18/2014 4:18 PM

Incremental versions look normal as:
My partitions_inc_b1_s2_v1.tib 11/24/2014 9:11 AM
My question is....Is this normal. Should I have 22 full versions from my original backup.
Do I need to keep all 22 or just the latest one or two.

Thank you so much. This explains my confusion. I try to learn something new each and every day and this is my learning lesson for today. Did the conversion and now I have one large file as you mentioned.
Again Thank you GroverH.
