Backup source changed to larger cloned disk, but is doing full backup, not incremental
I had a backup set up and working well for a 2TB disk. It has 1.6TB of data on it. After running the initial bckup, when I ran a backup, it would just do an incremental backup that didn't take very long as I didn't change things on it often.
I just cloned the disk to a 8TB drive as the other one was getting old. That went well. I assigned it the same drive letter as the former 2TB drive. I started the backup, changed the source to the new 8TB drive, but it started doing a full backup rather than an incremental backup as expected. Why? Doesn't it recognize the new disk as having all the data as the old disk and thus just does a small incremental backup? Is this normal? If it's normal, do I then go an delete the old backup files? Thanks for you help.
