![]() ![]() I was under the impression that a synthetic full actually deletes "internal" copies of files that exist in the incremental it merges with in order to keep the space usage of the backups under control. The video says "Minimizes amount of storage needed for backups." which would directly contradict the ever increasing size of the synthetic full. that would imply zeroing out space in the full, filling it with files from the incremental, which I know is not trivial to do since files inside have various sizes at various offsets, but I thought Macrium actually pulled it off. ![]() as if it just concatenated them.ĭoes the size of the synthetic full always keep increasing by the size of the incremental it merges with? If yes then it will eventually run out of space regardless of how big the backup drive is. I noticed than when the full merged with the oldest incremental, the size of the resulting synthetic full increased by almost the exact size of the incremental. I'm doing incremental backups with a synthetic full, like in this video. ![]()
