Nonstop Backup - unreasonable amount of backup data
We use Acronis 2012 Home (latest version) on a Win7 Ultimate 64Bit to run a Nonstop Backup for all drives (c:, d: and e:) of the system. In sum, those drives contain about 480GB data. After 23 days the nonstop backup size reached 1.1TB - and the limit of the backup drive. Although this system runs 24x7 it is mainly used to do some email, surfing and not much more. What generates those giant amounts of "delta data"?
Looking at the backup directory I can see that the data is generated in bursts. There are days where no new backup data file is created, days with only one or two new files, but also days with 160 up to 228 new files - and each file has 1GB! There are three days in row creating a total of 510GB!
Has anybody any idea what could be responsible for this? Is it a bad idea to include the whole system drive in the nonstop backup? And is there any possibility to find out which files (or deltas of which files) generate this huge amount of data?
Two more issues:
* there is no log entry that the nonstop backup stopped due to exhausted space
* On each start, TIH logs a "Konfigurationsdatei wurde nicht gefunden und kann nicht erstellt werden" ("configuration file has not been found and cannot be created").
