Why is Acronis creating only incremental backups
I have Acronis True Image running on two Macs, an iMac and a MacBook. Both use a NAS on my local network (a WD MyCloud NAS). On the iMac, scheduled backups run every night with full backups every 6 or 7 days. Absolutely no problems.
On my MacBook, I only ever see incremental backups. A couple of weeks ago, the MacBook backups were failing every night. I finally deleted and re-created the backup job (which deleted the backup file, which I think was somehow corrupted anyway). For the last 10 nights, an incremental backup is created every time. No full backups. The MacBook backup file is about twice a large as the iMac backup (268 GB).
So my question: Why is Acronis creating incremental backups and never a full backup? This seems to be a risk, where all my backups for a long period of time are dependent on a single backup file.
The iMac is connected via wired Ethernet to the NAS. The MacBook uses my wireless, if that makes any difference.

John, this is a scheme of backups on Mac - one full, all the rest are incremental backups.
The new full backup will be created only as a first backup in the new plan.
I have added your vote to the change request about it (internal ID TI-176465).

But why is my iMac creating incremental backups? It's the same OS, same backup destination (different folder).
