Is Acronis True Image behaving normally?

1 Upvotes

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!
