Just so you know, rsync full backups take quite a bit longer than rsync
incrementals due to the extra disk access and processing time required
to examine every single file in your share.

As an example, using rsync over ssh to backup one of my linux hosts on a
gigabit LAN, a full backup took 1 hour and 8 minutes, while the very
next incremental backup took only 9 minutes.
