This is probably more of a general Windows question as related to HBS.
If I use a very large file (as an example a VeraCrypt container) and make even a small change to one of the encrypted files inside the VerCrypt container, Windows then notes the big file has changed. File type backups would then require a complete new copy of the file to be made.
I would like to understand if Windows actually changes only a portion (block) of that big file so HBS incremental Disk/Partition backup would still be relatively small. I'm experimenting but have not reach a definitive answer.
Thanks for any insights as to what actually happens
