Question about incremental Backup.
All in all my goal for this backup would be to minimize disk usage and try to retain as much space as possible. I really have no need to have multiple versions of files so I have set it to create a full version after 1 incremental version and then store no more than 1 recent chain.
I want to always have the most recent version of the file without all the previous versions but I am a bit confused as to how it creates a full version. Does it essentially start over with a full backup from the source drive or does it consolidate the existing full backup and incremental backups into one? I just don't want to backup all of my data and realize I am basically just setting it up to do full backups and write a ton of information every day.
On another note how is it determining if a file should be backed up? Is it reading the whole source drive and then looking what has been modified or is it a more sophisticated method?

That seems to imply that if I do a defrag and move a lot of files around thus changing sectors, the next incremental will be huge??

Correct.
