True incremental backup & File search capabilities within backup
I have acronis true image 2014 home, I’m still figuring the system out but not sure on if a few things are possible, which are important:
1) I understand the concept of Incremental backup, but one thing that I want to know if it’s possible is create a continuous/rolling backup. I used to use Memeo in the past, and while it’s a small non intuitive program, what I loved about it is it would not MIRROR, but just add to the backup. For example, if I delete a file on my hard drive, it would not be deleted on my backup. Is that possible with Acronis? Are my only options just creating FULL backups? But that will require a lot of space.
2) After I create a backup, say incremental, and have 5 incremental backups, if I wanted to search for a file in any one of the backups from explorer is that possible? It doesn’t seem to INDEX the files therefore I would have to go into every single incremental backup to check for that file.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess you're right, I don't fully understand - or Acronis is not the software I was looking for. I'll continue my search. Thanks again!
I guess a program more like Genie backup would suit my needs, where I can search for file and continuous

ATI is primarily a disk imaging tool. It allows you to create an image of your entire drive, and to restore that image even to a new, blank drive if your drive were to fail. That makes it a great tool for disaster recovery. I have saved many users by restoring their entire system after a disaster.
In recent versions, ATI has added other features such as non-stop backup and sync, which may be more like what you're looking for. There are many backup tools that were built primarily to support such features, but they wouldn't be able to offer complete system restore after disk failure.
So, your choice depends upon what you're looking for.
