Sorry if this is clearly stated somewhere (I did check the "Backup with dar" wiki first) but am unclear.
Are the incremental backups based solely on the full or do they take into account the last incremental?
For example say I have it set for 1 Set and 28 increments:
Initial full backup runs and it is 100 GB
Day 1 comes - There is 1 GB of changes, so Inc#1 is 1 GB
Day 2 comes - There are not any changes, so what size is Inc#2?
Is Inc#2 1 GB (based on just the Full) or 0 based on Full + Inc#1?
Reason I am asking is I have been seeing incremental backups consuming 24 GB a day on a system that contains ~ 700 GB. I just can't phatom that they are changing 24 GBs worth of files a day.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is already clearly posted/explained already.
