     Hi Tim,
     It's gone back to 16 mins today.
     I upgraded BackupPC last week. My guess is that they've changed the algorithm for
     incrementals so it effectively did a full backup and then some. Once it did a real "full
     backup" the new algorithm works properly so incrementals go back to a more manageable
     size.
     I'll be doing a further upgrade in a few days, so it may do it again. Fix would be to
     force a full backup.

     Hi Mike,
     my cruto4 (Windows) machine incremental backups seem to have gone from 15-45 minutes
     previously up to 281 minutes on Wednesday and been running since 10am today and still
     going!  Any idea what's happening?
