Incremental file backup same size every time ?

Thread needs solution

I need some help as I can't understand this. I backup with the file backup option and select the relevant things i want to backup and have incremental selected, trouble is every time i run backup it creates a near identical size backup ?

Avonvilla,

Do you run the same task each time (clicking on backup now, or running a schedule)?

OK. When you click on "edit backup options", do you verify that the backup scheme is incremental?
If yes, run chkdsk /r on the partition where the files are.

Avonvilla,

This link could help. The guide relates to disk mode backups but most would still apply to a files only backup. Don't forget, if you have a disk failure or your system won't boot, it is best to have a "disk mode" backup which is a backup that includes all partitions on your disk. This type backup makes recovery much easier.

Thanks for the help but i can't see anything there i'm not doing ?

Avonvilla,

Use the examples of figures 21 and 22 of the referenced link to see how True Image describes each of the backups--full or incremental

If I am understanding correctly, you have only one task and each time you create a backup, you press the same "Backup now" option of the same single task?

Avonvilla,
Maybe ATI cannot properly examine the data to determined what is changed, or maybe it cannot see the existing full backup on the backup disk for some reason. ATI has to see that full backup where it is supposed to be, or it will create a new full instead of an incremental.
If the full is there, try to uninstall, create a clean boot environment, and reinstall.
