Hi,

some time ago I asked the same question but didn't get an answer. As 
deletion of incremental dumps is _really_ slow on my server, I try again:

If I take a look on the structure of incrementals, I can see lots of 
empty directories. It seems as if the whole directory structure of the 
backup-source is kind of "duplicated" to the backup disk - although most 
of the directories (and the files in them) are unchanged.
This leads to _lots_ of files/directories on the backuppc-disk (about 20 
million now). Is it necessary?

Christoph
