Complete guess: Does something that you added use one or more 'large' 
sparse files?  If so, either exclude those files from the backup, if 
they are say, log-type files, or turn on sparse file detection in the 
fileset (add sparse=yes to the fileset Options resource, as I recall).  
The only other thing I could think of is if you are using 'onefs=yes' 
and something introduced links such that most of your data is now being 
backed up multiple times.
