The complete folder is copied again.

Hello, first of all, sorry for the translation, not speaking English, I use Google translator.
I am testing Cobian Backup, the first time I set the copy, with the option "Complete", the second time is configured with the option "Incremental", so that if there is any updated or new file, only copy those files, but does not do that job, it returns to make a copy of all files.

Does anyone know if it is necessary to configure something else so that it only makes a copy of the new that it has modified, or new files?

Thank you

There is no need to set a complete first task. The incremental one will do a first complete task.

Well I have it in mind, but now that it is as incremental, it continues to copy the entire folder.

If it is true that it had been a while without copying that folder, I don't think that's the problem, because the configuration files that Cobian Backup creates have not changed,

Are you clearing the archive attributes?

Hi,
I have the same problem but with multiple folders.
This problem generates 3 to 5Gb incremental backups every days.
I do clear the archive attributes so, this is not the case.
I would greatly appreciate a solution.

Is the source on FTP/SFTP? Are you using compression? Is the backup REALLY full or is it incremental/differential BUT copying everything? (big difference)
