RNR 3.0 backup enormous?!

[krma-thkpds]

I installed RNR 3.0 and soon after the installation I made base backup. Everything went well. However, yesterday I wanted to make another (incremental) backup and it took 15GB. This is enormous compared to 4GB base backup.

Anyone experienced this?

Isn't incremental backup supposed just to back up the changes from the last backup?

How much stuff do you have on your drive?

I'm guessing the base backup didn't really capture all your files - maybe it just updated the OEM install stuff to work with the latest R&R? If your drive has 17-20 GB used, then 15 GB would be about right after compression. OTOH, if you only have 5-6 GB of stuff, then something went very wrong.

Thanks for reply. Just after the backing I remembered I was copying some movies to the disc for a friend. And it was 15GB of them. Thanks.
