Mirrored Backup Type
I have been using Genie Backup Manager for the past couple of years. Acronis has many other useful features. As opposed to using differential or incremental backups, there is the option in Genie for doing a mirrored backup which is what I have been using. This basically deletes from the backup, the files that have been deleted in the interim since the last backup and any adds new files as well. I generally just do a backup after making significant changes such as adding photos or videos, so this gets done about once a week or so. I see that Acronis does not have this mirrored option. Why is this the case? Which backup type would then best suit my needs? Your assistance in helping me to better understand this will be appreciated. Thanks.

Custom scheme with incremental backup with automatic consolidation will do the same - incremental will contain new files and 'removed' references for old files, and consolidation will create new 'full' backup with 'removed' files physically removed, then the old full backup is replaced with the new one. At one point there will be two full backups to make sure that it's not corrupted if operation is terminated unexpectedly.
