Time Machine Backup

[Davidharry]

Good evening to all.
This afternoon I decided to make a backup of my MacBook Air, Decided to use the Time Machine Backup method.
Just a small point when I do the next backup will it make a complete new one or will it look for any changes in documents photos etc.
Many Thanks. David.

It only backs up what changes since the previous backup.

Here is a Apple link with information that has your answer (as Darmok N Jalad said) and even more information.

Time Machine backups are incremental and looks for changes

While TM is great, I would also recommend a second component to your backup strategy: a bootable clone
I use both TM and Carbon Copy Cloner on separate drives for the best of both worlds
A bootable clone can have you back up and running in no time in case of a catastrophic failure to your internal drive
