A 10 GB Backup for 8 MB Data??

Thread needs solution

Hi All
I was using ATIH 2012 on Windows 7 Pro x64 to backup some files located at a remote Samba server on Ubuntu, and the directory hosting these files are mapped to a network drive in my Windows 7. The data I wanted to backup has about 8 MB, however, after ATIH finishes the initial backup, I got a 10 GB .tib file. I was using incremental backup and have checked that the selected files are indeed 8 MB.
What is going on here?
Thanks,

Hi,

It looks like you are using file backup. Triple check that the file selection doesn't include some other default directory (typically the documents folder).

Thanks so much! You are right, it seems Acronis includes the Windows Document folder by default for each new file backup job. That is sometimes not desirable.
