Ghost10: Multiple Sets

The last time I initiated a bu of C: I assumed NG would create yet another incremental. It didn't; it created a second base bu.
What criteria does NG10 use in the decision when to start a new bu set?
Just curious.

Dave, this has been a point of much discussion and conjecture. I welcome other's opinions.
However, it seems that whenever Ghost 10 reaches some "threshold" of changes in the sectors of the partition that have changed, it will institute a base backup instead of what may be expected by the user as an incremental.
Remember that these are sector images not file backups. So an active drive (like the c partiton) could easily only get a few incrementals, if that, and then a full base is always taken.
A different partition (mostly data files) would most likely get more incrementals before the full backup occurs.

Thanks for the explanation/speculation. Wouldn't it be nice if Symantec included information on how the program actually works in the help file or user guide?
