File size of backed up file

Thread needs solution

I have a lot of FLAC files that are about 20MB each.
If I add lyrics to them (so that a little bit of text is added), will NSB's size increase by 20MB for each file, or will it backup only the difference?

Thanks,
John

Hello John,

Let me help you.

Acronis Non-Stop Backup will back up changed files again, so in your case it will back up the whole file again, and as a result you'll have a several versions of your FLAC files.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Hi Ilya -

I am confused by your response... because the page at http://kb.acronis.com/content/13534

says:

"It is important to understand that since all the files were backed in their entirety at Step 1, Acronis Nonstop Backup every 5 minutes saves only the file changes, not the files themselves. This saves disk space. The changes are requests to the files done since the last slice was created. In other words, Acronis Nonstop Backup "compares" the latest slice with the one in progress and saves only the changes."

Why would the file be backed up totally if just a part of it changes?
