Problem with incremental backup v7046
Hi
I am ising v7046 to backup my c: drive , here's the setup .
Pc with true image installed , backing up to a network drive , WD sharespace 4tb .
I have it set to incremental backup and set amount of backup days to 15 days .
When i first setup the task it ran just fine , it did a full backup of my c: drive ,next day it did its first incremental no problems ,
this carried on for a couple of weeks.
Now when it does its daily backup its says it takes 49.710 days , in real time it takes about 5 hours .
My questions are , why does it take so long , the contents of the drive it backs up are hardly changed , it used to take justa few mins to do the incremental backup , now it takes hours . (xp 64bit)
So i experimented , i installed v7046 on my win 7 pc , and setup exactly the same task , everyday , incremental , max 15 days of backups, and set it going .
First night it did the full backup as expected , and the following nights its did the incrementals quite fast , 15-30 mins a time , untill a couple of days ago then it started to do the same as my other pc , says its going to take 49.710 days , and in reality it takes about 8 hours to complete the task .
Why ? i dont understand . Why should a backup thats tiny take so long , why did it work perfectly for a week or 2 then goto this situation ?
Any / all help would be appreciated .
Thank you
