Incremental backup question
Hi
Systemback is a very useful utility. I am enjoying using it. I have a couple of questions on Systemback's incremental backups that I wondered if someone could help with? On my system, Systemback is set to backup incrementally. I've been using it for the past month and have taken weekly restore points. I expected the first backup would be quite large and subsequent ones smaller as the new increment was backed up. But that's not what I've seen, as all the backups are similar size and the more recent ones are in fact slightly larger. Why are the newer restore points not smaller in size ?
Also I understand that older restore points are deleted once the maximum number of temporary restore points is exceeded. How is that possible if the newer backups are increments, as surely it then wouldnt be possible to restore the system ? Have I misunderstood how Systemback is working?
Regards
David
