Its final size was what I would expect (~60 GB the uncompressed. To confirm that all went well, I ran the backup validation built into True Image on the new archive, and also explored it to confirm it includes all the files/folders I wanted, and only them. It is also compressed, like every True Image backup, so for archival purposes it is better to do this step than to stay with the. TIB, which is equivalent to the original, incremental backup, and without extra space consumed by the deleted files.

This forces Acronis to recreate the archive from scratch, and the deleted files/directories will not be there, so they will not take any space.

Suspecting a glitch, I re-ran the backup operation, but the result was the same. However, in my cases, the partition seemed error-free (confirmed by CHKDSK) and nothing in the logs suggested that sector-by-sector mode was used. I learned that this sometimes happens when sector-by-sector mode is selected, and that True Image sometimes forces this mode when it detects errors on the partition. They’ve always worked for me, until this recent time, when for whatever reason, True Image ignored my exclusions, and included every single file in the backup archive, which made it ~500 GB instead of the expected ~60 GB. There are typically directories on my system partition, which I do not want to back up, since they are not really part of the system state, not unique to my computer, and yet take a lot of space (for example – games, which can always be reinstalled, SDKs which can be redownloaded, temporary files which just happen to be there at the time I want to back up, etc.)Ĭonveniently, True Image has settings to exclude any files/folders when backing up partitions. I’ve been using Acronis True Image Home to make periodical snapshots of my system partitions, in case I ever have to recover from disaster (which happened a few times in the past).
