Nothing changed but large file was created
I have Acronis home 2019. I setup a schedule as a test. The schedule was configured as follows:
- Periodically
- Every 10 min
- After previous running was started
- Incremental
It properly backed up the folder and after I made some changes it made more backup files. Now I have not made any changes but it continues to make a 13K file every 10 min.
If I make the folder just one file then it makes 1K or 2K files.
Does anyone know why it would make such a large file when nothing has changed?

Sorry, 2009.
I have told it to backup c:\temp only. In c:\temp I put a few files. I have not changed any of the files and there are no hidden files. The backup is "My Data (files and folders).

Whenever you create a backup, there is always a file being created. I don' t know the minimum file size.
You can unhide the hidden files and folders, then double click on the create TIB file to see what is in each backup file.

I agree the original backup would create a file, but what I'm talking about is the additional files created each period. Is there something I need to select because there is no reason to create those if nothing has changed?

You see, the TIB is a file format with some overhead, so ATI always creates a TIB file and there always a minimum file size. Even backing up a single document that doesn't change...

Also, I notice that if I re-boot, the scheduled task does not start. I suspect there is someplace where I need to tell Acronis to start the task at boot time. Can anyone give me some guidance on that?
