yes, you are probably incorrectly using incremental backups, but since you
don't say anything about your configuration, we can only guess.
Level 1 incremental backups download everything that has changed since the
last full backup. Presuming your last full was long ago, or you have modified
your configuration since then (e.g. changed from a test backup of, say, /lib,
to a full backup of all of your root file system), you will be downloading
everything changed or added since the last full backup with every incremental.
Run a full backup and see if the following incrementals behave better. If so,
send us some details about your configuration (esp. full and incremental
backup scheduling settings) to let us help you adjust your schedule. In short:
you *need* regular full backups.

Holger
