CCC Incremental Backups

[MrX8503]

I ran an incremental backup minutes after doing a full backup and the incremental backup was still several hundred MB. This seems a bit large, is this normal?

It really depends on what's been running on your system and which files were modified, added or deleted. It doesn't sound like any cause for concern.

ITs impossible to say because you could have changed some files that resulted in the app backing up more files then you expected.

I found CCC to be rock solid, so I wouldn't worry about it. Its a great app and has never failed me in backing up or restoring

I'm a fan of CCC, but I'm not sure if I'll be using it for incremental backups because of its excessive writes.

My computer was sitting at idle for 5-10minutes when I did another backup and it was about 100MB.

Log files maybe ?

It would only take an additional line in a 100 Mb log file to cause another 100 Mb to be backed up.

I keep all of my "main data files" on a partition separate and away from the OS partition.

CCC will back up my data partition in about 30 seconds.
