XP preventing incremental backups?

| My Ghost 9 backup software wont do incrementals. No matter what I try it
will only do a baseline backup. If I leave the PC on overnight however, it
WILL do a
incremental (in other words PC not turned off between backups).
I have updated, reloaded, rescheduled, tried different schedules etc. I
also do not do defrag or schedule a defrag (which I read in a FAQ on will
cause this).
Does the fact that if I dont power off between backups provide a clues as to
what I can do to correct this? Does windows somehow scamble the disk so it
looks likes its defragged when I power it up again?
thanks

| My guess is that your system shutdown might not be clean causing Ghost to
perform a baseline backup because it can't trust the incremental... I do
know if the system crashes, the next backup will always be a baseline. A
normal shutdown doesn't seem to have this behavior, however.
