that's great, so you have a backup in case you mess everything up - but 
it sounds strange that an incremental backup needs the same time like 
the full backup.
Have you tried to make some more incremental backups?

As far as I understand traffic should be lower for incremental backups - 
  since only changes from the last full backup should be transferred?!

The PC you are talking about is windows based right? Do you have other 
Windows-Clients within your group of "other PC's" (where backups are 
working as supposed)? Then you could compare the configuration files.
