Scheduled differential Backup doesn't work

I'm using Windows 7x64 and I backed up my complete C: drive (a 120GB Samsung 830 SSD). The initial backup worked fine. Then I ran a differential backup which also went fine. When I scheduled the same differential backup though I got this:

The archive size is way too big and the backup would take way too long so I canceled it.

This is the script:

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've got the exact same problem with scheduled jobs.
When i manually create a single backup job it works without a problem but as soon as i schedule it seems to use the wrong source.

I think it chooses the target as the source as soon as you schedule jobs in this version.

select disk "********"

I tried finding out where paragon gets this ID from, but i couldn't.
This source ID doesn't show up anywhere in the hardware properties of any of my disks.
Where can i find this ID so i can match it with the ID of the proper source?

 

looks similar to a hard disk serial no. to me.

 

I have a similiar problem.

Last week, I used Smart backup to backup the data partition on my Internal data drive to my External drive. Today, I used the “Differential Partition Backup” command to make a differential backup of last weeks backup. As the wizard asked me the locations of the original partition on the internal drive and the location of the archive in the external drive, and the sizes of the diff archive and the original backup seem logical, I assume that the differential backup worked. Now, I want to schedule automatic differential backups once or twice a week. On page 103 of the manual, there is a “creating a scheduled Task” instruction. Settings are set for Allow Virtual Mode at step 1 requires. However, I cannot find the TOOLS>Save to Scheduler... command. Also, if I could find this, I don’t see how to tell the program what the task is.

Have any posters here figured this out?

 

Guys, easy quick answer is, there is a know bug when creating the differential and running it from within the wizards, when you are choosing what to select for the differential please un-select the entire disk and only choose the partitions that are being compared, the differential image should be a bit more accurate at that point. This is the work around until the bug fix is posted.
