Incremental backup doesn't work for multiple copies

Making an incremental backup from 1 source directory to 3 external harddisks (in sequence), only the first disk get the incremental file(s), other 2 zero files. Original Cobian Backup worked correct. Looks like the 2nd and 3rd backup dont recognize the changed files.

You do have multiple destinations in the same task (as it should be) and not three separated tasks?

3 different tasks (like before in cobian backup). Can you specify 3 targets in one task?

Seems to work (3 in one task). Looks Reflector works different than old v11 Backup where 3 separate tasks worked.
HOWEVER the incremental files are in a separate folder (per run/date-time) and not merged with the old folder. How can I do that? I can copy a few days of incremental, but if it's daily folders for a month it is a lot of work.

Works the same way. My guess is that in the old program you had 2 tasks with the "Clear archive attribute" off.

On the second question: uncheck Create separated backups.
