Consolidation

Thread needs solution

My True Image 2013, Build 6514, runs every night, and successfully creates a backup.

I have never asked for an consolidation because I don't know what that feature is good for.
Nevertheless, the log always shows a consolidation step or two.
Why?

A recent copy of my log is shown below.

David,
Would you post a screen capture of your Backup scheme as listed in Disk Backup Options.

One of your statements above implies you have 51 diff backups off the one single full backup.
If true, that is wht I would call "living dangerously" with your data.
If true, I would cease to use this task and create a new task (pointing to a new empty storage folder) and set up the backup scheme as indicated in lnk #2 below, illustration figure 11-Dif
