We are currently having problems performing incremental backups on a file 
system that has a large amount of files. The daily changes to this file system 
are small so we are only sending approximately 5 - 10 gig per backup however, 
since there are around 3,000,000 files to examine, the backup takes about 10 - 
13 hours to complete.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle incremental backups of file 
systems that contain a large number of I-nodes ?
