[BackupPC-users] Newbie: full vs incremental backup

[Andrei S. <lis...@gm...>]

I've just set up the BackupPC server on my Ubuntu system.
Changed the TopDir to /backup which is mounted on a different hard drive.
I configured Xfer to be tar for my localhost and tried to backup my
/home/user directory.
All backups that I did (one full and two incremental) worked without
problem.
Now it looks like every incremental backup is not different from a full
backup as it takes almost the same space on disk as a full backup. I thought
it should only backup the delta...
Where am I wrong?

Thank you,
Andrew
