To relieve the impact of backing up hundreds of gigabytes in a short time, I added several larger folders to the exclude list for a share. Then each day I would remove a couple from the exclude list to add more data to the backup.

What's happening is that backup #12 is trying to go back to incremental #5 (which is the level 1 incremental.) I added many folders in-between incremental #5 and incremental #10, and if I could get it to use a higher incremental, like #7 I think it would include those large files already in the pool.

Backup schedules are set to the defaults except for FullKeepCnt, which is set to the example value of: 4, 2, 3.
