Hi,
I have a windows 2012 R2 cluster with Windows StorageSpaces(dedup enabled). I have 2 drives X and Y , and multiple shares under each drives. I have many number of policies which have been structured to take the backup of one share in X and 1 share in Y. There is a strange thing happening with many of these policies , which is , the incremental backup is almost the same as the full backup in many of these. Im finding it really tough to troubleshoot this as there is no changes happening in the source data. Anyhelp would be highly appreciated.
Master : 7.6.0.4 , Windows 2012 R2
Media : 7.6.0.4 , RHEL 6.5
One of the policies is :
