The differential completed (and was labelled as a differential) but was effectively the same size as a full backup.
So, for some reason, the restored disk looked as tho' it was 100% different from the full backup that had just been restored... hence the very large size of the differential.
Not a real issue... just an observation.
I then ran a new full backup followed by a differential and this differential was (as expected) quite small.

We've tested and haven't been able to reproduce the issue you mentioned. Were you restoring to the original disk? Did you move any partition or change any options that could cause the caused the location or size of the partition to change?
Restoring to original disk: yes
move or change partitions: no
If I can reproduce it, I will let you know

Thank you very much.
OK, I've run several tests on restore followed by differential
I used installed version and also USB boot version.
In all cases everything worked properly.
My previous case where differential was very large did not reappear...
so conclusion...
I did something to cause the issue... probably mixing up different backup versions.
Sorry for the report of a non-issue.
