Hi everybody,
I have an update on this; last night the backup job ran again, this time
as an incremental one. The job terminated successfully, but backup size
again doesn't make sense, being roughly 88G (see log at the end of the

Hi Adrian, thanks for your advice, I was actually already thinking of
