are you guest and this is full even shows "inc"

Thread needs solution

full ~155 GB

shows initial backup  // see the attached screenshot

but last backup is bigger than this, is ~211 GB inc // see attachment

 

Can you guess if this is full bkup,... even shows "inc" ? // is it normal behavior ? // I can delete the prior 6 backups and have the last 7th backup?????

I think was setup to create full in 7th backup BUT WHY SHOWS "inc" in name... ?

Lse, you have one incremental chain that is so infrequently run that it is not at all odd to have large increments. The time between increment 6 and increment 7 is six months. Nothing surprising in these sizes. You  could have lots of Windows updates, new program installations, tons of stuff in temp folders and recycle bin. Hard to say what it is since we know nothing about the source of the backup or any exclusions.

I think it is very dangerous to have a single chain spanning close to two years. You might want to reconsider your strategy.

OK so 

if was "full" in "incremental chain" (have it 7 backups make one full) and was 7th backup... in this case in the file name will written "full" or "inc" in this 7th backup? I ask about file name only...

Are you recommend do a Full backup and delete this chain all??? This plan to do by the way... 

Lse...the file is an incremental.  In all of my time using True Image and all my time on this blog, I have never seen an instance where True Image mis-named a file.

The file name for the next full backup in this sequence should be:

WDC WD10EZEX-08M2NA0_full_b2_s1_v1.tib

I would recommend starting a new full backup.  Do not delete this chain until the new full backup has successfully completed.

I would also recommend doing backups more frequently...once per week minimum.  If disk space is not an issue, I recommend doing one backup per day (incremental or differential).
