Help with incremental backup
I have just loaded Acronis 13 and have limited IT knowledge.
I have done one full backup of my computer. I now wish to do an incremental backup. Setting is showing incremental.
Although it appears that the backup starts, I have no on screen information about the status of the backup, which I did when I did the full backup. The Acronis screen is just blank with just the headings. It also seems to be doing another full backup. I can see this by looking at the icon in the bottom right of the toolbar that says active, but has given the file a 'full' extension. I suppose I would have expected to see 'inc'? The backup drive appears to be being accessed but after 15 minutes it had only achieved 1% complete and as very little had been added I presume agains its trying to do a full.
With Acronis 11 it was so simple.
Help!

I think we are now. What I did was set the task as Full and then amend to incremental for the second backup. How I understand it, is that it will always then do a Full - I should not change the task once created. I will try again this morning and see what happens.
Thx for the quick reply.

Nicholas,
An example of the incremental settings can be found at figure 11-Iinc
