Trouble backing up folders on external HD to DVDs

Thread needs solution

Am a new user. Had no trouble backing up to DVDs selected folders on my computer's HD, but, have had big trouble backing up to DVDs selected folders on my external HD. What happens is this: although I have only checked folders that add up to less than 4 GB, Acronis keeps calculating that I want to backup 40+ GB. Am I hitting or selecting something that causes these wrong calculations? One time Acronis made a correct calculation, and I got a usable DVD, but I'm mystified about what I did right.

Look especially carefully and de-select everything. Then select only what you want. There have been some issues with too much being selected. Even try selecting everything and then deselect everything and mark what you want to keep.
