You can optimize large file backups by adding an additional setting.
For large files with ACL-only changes, only the ACLs are backed up as part of incremental and differential backups. The data in the files is not backed up. This is applicable for files that exceed a size threshold. The default file size threshold is 1GB.
However, full backups are complete data backups.
