Depending on the selected backup type, either all files are backed up again
(Full Backup) or only files that have been modified are backed up. With anIn-
cremental Backup, the files that have been modified since the last backup in
this backup set are backed up. With a Differential Backup, the files that have
been modified since the first complete backup are backed up.

added files in a backed-up folder to be backed up, make sure that the Add new
files in incremental or differential backup check box is enabled in the corre-
sponding options.
