Acronis discription of Incremental vs Differential backup???
What's the difference between an Incremental vs Differential backup?
The user guide talks about if you write one page of a document the incremental method saves the new page every time you run backup . . . That makes no sense to me. If I'm building a Word document with 100 pages and I add a few pages each day, when I do a backup I expect it to save the entire file not just new pages of it? Is it true what Acronis is saying? I'm thinking it's in error by just oversimplifying it to the point of being absurd. I tried using the Acronis Forum but I cannot even see a way to post a question there? They seem to be going out of their way to be not helpful.
I'm assuming most of their backups versions use a similar method so they are backwards compatible but I happen to be using True Image 2017 in case it matters. Ive been using it since 2009 but I almost always only do FULL disk backups and thought I would try another method.
