Differential Creating Full Backups

Post by fitz2510 »

Running Windows 11, Cobian Reflector has been running differential and full copies with no problem and as expected. However, as of October 6th, differential copies are now running as full copies even though the history shows them being differential. After the "differential" backup ran today and the file count and size showed as "full", I immediately ran another "differential" backup with the exact same results. I had not changed any files.

Any help would be appreciated.

* The backups are differential, not full as indicated. But for some reason (my guess is that the archive attributes have been reset), all files are being copied.

Thanks for the quick reply. The "Use Archive Attributes" box is checked...should it be unchecked? If not, how can I get this back to running correctly?

Thanks!

You can disregard. I created a new backup to replace the one that wasn't working and I'm now using the new one. Thanks.
