I have been a long time user of Cobian Gravity, and switched to Cobian Reflector about a year ago. I was using Windows 10 on a home built 2nd and also 3rd generation processor on Intel Motherboards. All was going well. I recently replaced the older computer with an Intel NUC 12 mini computer with an i7 12th generation processor running Windows 11. I replaced all my hard drives in the older computers with a Synology DS220+ NAS and local drives in a Western digital Elements 4TB Drive. The backups to the NAS seemed to be working all right until I started running out of space on the NAS. The location on the NAS was limited to 400GB since I had never seem it needing more. The backups were all using the same Properties. Differential with one full backup every 7 days and saving six differentials between the full backups. I only saved one full backup. The NAS is physically located in another space different than the computer, and is connected by Ethernet. I have 7 different types of backups; documents, music, pictures, videos and 4 different AppData backups. I found the space is being used up because some of the Differential backups were actually full backups. I also found that some backups had no data in the full backups but some data in the differentials.
The backups going to the elements drive were doing other strange things. My videos were going to a file named by the drive letter they were located on, then the specified file name. Also,some of the file names were different than the ones on the NAS, i.e. The NAS had a full file name for all backups, while on the Elements backup, all full backups were by only "documents", "music", etc. While differentials had file names as specified.
Any help?
Thanks
