Im having problems with my differential. It is doing a full backup job.

This is the settings for my full backup:
-Selections/ I choose Local Selections/Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes
-Priority and Availability/ I leave it at Medium
-Device and Media/ Append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available
-General/ Full - Back up files - Using archive bit (reset archive bit)
Verify after backup completes
Compression type: Hardware (if available, otherwise, none)
-Advanced/ Back up files and directories by following junction points.
Set Remote Agent priority: Normal priority
Open file backup when Advanced Open File Option is not used: with a lock
-Microsoft Exchange/ Full -Database & Logs (flush committed logs)
Full - Back up messages - Reset archive bit


My differential backup is the same besides:
-General/ Differential - Back up changed files since last full - Using archive bit (does not reset archive bit)

I think the problem is under the -Microsoft Exchange/ instead of Full -Back up messages - Reset archive bit, i think i should do Differential - Back up changed messages.

When I check the Job Monitor tab after the differenital ran, it says its byte count is bigger then the full backup (from new emails since the full). It should not be the size of the full only what has changed since the full..
