I did set Windows Server Backup as complete server backup and it did incremental backups on daily basis - till a few days ago.

Windows Server Backup doesn't allow scheduled & incremental backups to a remote location. So I recently scheduled a batch file (via Task Scheduler) which one does full backup to a shared folder on a remote machine. The backups are full because of remote folder, on daily basis. The command is below: Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\hyperweb\y$ -include:C:,D:,X: -vssFull -user:hyperadmin -password:!Q^34AZ2whdeE+sx -quiet

Then I noticed, local backups became full instead of incremental: ~15 GB vs ~200 GB

Is it OK? Can I force local backups to make them incremental only? Or should I cancel remote backup and just copy locally backed up files to a remote folder? Seems like full backup resets things, so very next backup won't be incremental anymore.

Please try to edit the English in the second paragraph. It is hard to understand. Also try to explain like this: I am backing up server a to drive b using Windows backup. I am making a copy command using this EXACT command to copy this directory from server a to drive c. What command EXACTLY are you using to do that copy command is important. – KCotreau Jul 28 '11 at 11:25
