Is my backup working correctly?

I have 27 GB of backup storage. I only have 0.9 GB of storage remaining, however.

The thing that is weird is when I go to preview the files that would be included in my next backup set, it only shows 16.1 GB of data. When I look at the individual files listed in the backup set, I see files that haven't changed since my last backup and also those that are new.

 

I know that 0.9 GB is probably not enough to update my backup file, but I'm confused about what I see when I look at this preview of the backup set.

 

1) Is the 16.1 GB number, the amount of date that is in addition to the 26.1 GB that I already have stored, or is it the total amount in a new backup set?

 

2) Is the backup set in the preview supposed to show every file or just those that are added in an incremental backup?

 

Can anyone help me here with this?

 

Thanks,

Dan
