Backup closed and another opened without my permission

Thread needs solution

ATM 2014 Build 6673

I have a daily incremental backup that works for weeks.
Yesterday I edited it to insert an exclusion for a new file.
Then I realized that ATI 2014 just ended my backup and created an empty copy.
See the attached file.
The problem I see is that I lose all the incremental sequence of the original backup and will start a whole new backup (including a full backup), taking up disk space that I do not own.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greetings,
I'm guessing (without knowing more), but I suspect your file exclusion is the reason why Acronis will perform a new full back up and continue with incrementals from it.

Also of note. Since you are keeping daily increnmentals (I see 28 versions) in your scheme, I hope you are performing validation regularly. You may want to consider a smaller number of incrementals between fulls, and keep 2-3 version chains on hand for recovery. This is a safer approach.
