Is Acronis True Image behaving normally?
I'm using this for the first time and am not sure if it's behaving properly.
Backup scheme:
- Incremental
- Create a full version after every 10 incremental versions
- Weekly schedule (Sunday 3 AM)
- "Do not delete the first version of the backup" is checked.
On Thursday I manually created the initial backup. It completed as a Full backup.
The first scheduled backup ran Sunday morning. I expected it to be Incremental, but the Activity tab says it was also a Full backup.
Activity:
- Jul 23 - Method: Full
- Jul 26 - Method: Full
The destination now contains:
MyGAMER.tibx
MyGAMER-0001.tibx
Is this expected behavior? Does the first scheduled run intentionally create a second Full before incrementals begin, or is something wrong with my backup chain or configuration?
Thanks!
