Windows 10: Incremental backup programs

Windows 10 does not do incremental backups but I want to know about them.I have a program that runs files from a folder and I keep adding files to the folder it runs from. Some of the files I add have the same file name but have changed slightly. When I do an incremental backup what exactly would a backup program look for (file name, size, date modified etc...)?

Bloated Incremental backups

Thank you for the quick response. For further isolation of the issue, you can perform a clean boot to find out which install program is possibly conflicting with the third-party backup software. A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and
startup programs. Follow the steps outlined in the section: How to perform a clean boot from this
support article. You can also watch our
for more details.

IMPORTANT: Go to the section:
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the PC in normal startup after identifying the cause of the issue.

Should the issue remain on a clean boot state, I highly suggest getting in touch with the software developer's support website to find out if the incremental backup file size is due to a misconfiguration with the program itself.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified, and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

 

Bloated Incremental backups

I have a backup scheme where I do 1 full backup after 3 daily incrementals. I do so few incrementals because they are so huge, 65-70GB when I make less than 1MB of changes. At first My backup app, Acronis True Image customer services says that it could
be a hardware issue but I had my HDD scoured and bad sectors removed 5 days ago. They also believe it could be an OS issue. Bloated incremental backups. Please help.
