Windows 10: procedure making an incremental daily backup of a full image backup

I understand how to make a full image backup on my Windows 11 PC, but I need step by step procedure to set up a daily incremental backup of that full image backup. My plan is to do a Full Image Backup Monthly and a daily incremental back up daily. My assumption is that the incremental backup will be on any changes to my PC daily. I can not find the step to take to set up the incremental backup on that full image.

Bloated Incremental backups

I have a backup scheme where I do 1 full backup after 3 daily incrementals. I do so few incrementals because they are so huge, 65-70GB when I make less than 1MB of changes. At first My backup app, Acronis True Image customer services says that it could
be a hardware issue but I had my HDD scoured and bad sectors removed 5 days ago. They also believe it could be an OS issue. Bloated incremental backups. Please help.

 

Incremental Backup Procedure

I have a Seagate STDR4000602 as an external drive for storing backup files but do not know how to schedule my Windows 10 to incremental backup files on a nightly basis.

 

Daily Incremental Backup

On my pc the C drive hosts windows and programs and D drive hosts my personal, non-system data. I have a few external drives for backup and general storage. I want to begin a 'manual' daily incremental backup regimen of the D drive (I will consider backing up C if your advice compels). I plan to perform this at end of day prior to shutdown. If I understand the term correctly, I will begin with a single, full data backup and proceed, on a daily basis, to 'add' to the backup only new data as well as any files that are modified. At end of each month I will probably copy this backup onto a 'storage drive'. I humbly request suggestions and critique on how to best implement this plan and am open to alternate process. However, the nightly shutdown of the pc is a must.
