Is it possible to tell Acronis to make a full backup then tell it to do incremental backups for that full backup without having to wait for the full backup to complete?
Even if it's not possible I have another question.
I tested it by letting it create the full backup, then I set it to do an incremential backup in 1 minute.
It finished fairly quickly which is good but it created a 12 MB file and basically there were no changes it did it like a minute after the full backup. If it does an incremential backup every day is it going to overwrite that 12 MB file or is it going to add another file that is atleast 12 MB? Will it eventually fill up my external drive with these files? Will it end up having 160 GB worth of files even though the HD I did this with is 20 GB?
