Acronis backs up data even when there is no new data created by me
Good morning,
I have Acronis software 2018 set for daily backups at 7:00 am. I have noticed that even if there are no new files that I have created in my computer (example photos, videos, word documents, etc.) the software always manages to find things to back up. How is this possible? I am curious about what “new files” are being back up. My disk is 9 TB and is almost full.

I have a 9T external hard drive connected to my PC via USB deck.
This disk is where the Acronis backup files are stored. I am not sure what type of backup I have configured, I think I back up files from my pc 1T drive to the external drive identified by a letter F.
Please look at the attached screen shot.

Roberto, your first screen image shows us that you are making an Entire PC backup of your Lenovo Samsung SSD computer, thus are making a Disks & Partitions type backup of a drive which includes your Windows OS.
Windows constantly updates various files on the drive, including the system registry and files associated with your various installed applications, so there will always be data to be backed up.
What is unknown by us here is what settings you have configured on the Backup scheme page for your Entire PC backup task, and in particular, what you have set for the automatic cleanup options for this task.
A screen shot of the Backup scheme page would help, as would one of the actual Acronis .tib files held on your 9TB external drive in your Acronis backup folder.
If you have not set the automatic cleanup options for the task, then this will keep creating new .tib files until your 9TB drive runs out of space to store them!
