Luis, I'm not sure I fully understand but I'll try to respond.

Using xxcopy is different than the old approach of creating a full
backup and then separate incremental backups. To restore under the old
approach you would restore the full backup and then the incremental, and
would indeed be back at 100 files.

Using xxcopy, a full backup is first made. When the second run is made,
xxcopy will directly update the first backup that was made so that you
now have 97 files. To restore, simply restore these 97 files. Don't
make two restore runs.

It seems to me that when you ran your second backup, you first made a
copy of the full backup so that you had one copy that would not be
affected when you made the incremental backup. If that's the case then
simply ignore that copy of the full backup that you made on your first
run. You do not need it to restore your 97 files.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

...Dan
