Windows server backup - incremental how to?

Greetings!

WSB 1st setup Schedule backup where on advanced tab I selected full backup.

On this address: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772523.aspx I have read that once you do full backup, WSB is going automatically do Incremental by itself:

  • Automatic management of full and incremental backups. You no longer need to manage full and incremental backups. Instead, Windows Server Backup will, by default, create an incremental backup that behaves like a full backup. You can recover any item from a single backup, but the backup will only occupy space needed for an incremental backup. In addition, Windows Server Backup does not require user intervention to periodically delete older backups to free up disk space for newer backups—older backups are deleted automatically.

, but I don't think it works in my case, because the next time the WSB ran a scheduled backup it didnt do any smaller files, it has recreated the FULL VHD files again. I'm doing Backup on a VOLUME disk. I would expected this scenario:

First time running scheduled task creates VHD file in:

E:\WindowsImageBackup\SERVERNAME\Backup 2013-09-01 184035\localdisc-C.VHD (50GB)

The next time running scheduled task it would created:

E:\WindowsImageBackup\SERVERNAME\Backup 2013-09-01 184035\localdisc-C(incremental-changes).VHD (100MB)

Any hints?
