I'm a BackupPC nOOb and I made the mistake of leaving the '+' after the "newer 
than" variable while I was doing a backup of a local machine. This confused 
BackupPC (not suprsingly) and it interpreted the date as some time in 1901 so 
my incremental backup was the same size and took the same time as the full 
backup.
In the log file, check the 'newer-than' date on your incremental backup.
