I hate bring this up again, but after taking advice from Les and John,
I'm not seeing what I think I should be seeing.  After changing my
current config to the one below, I started to have incr, incr, full,
incr, incr, full, but the full's were doing the entire 600G.

Here's what I have for my Host Schedule:
XferMethod: rsync
FullPeriod: 1.97
FullKeepCnt: 12
FullAgeMax: 13.5
IncrPeriod: 0.49
IncrKeepCnt: 28
IncrLevels: 1,2,3,4

What was odd was the 0 full backup wouldn't go away, even after 20
days, so I decided to just completely wipe the pool and start over.
Here's the last few backup numbers:

Type  Level  Files  Duration
full  0      1006837  2535
incr  1      1618    69

The system is currently backing up and has been since 3/2 16:00, so
it's doing another full.  This is telling me that the entire server is
backed up on every full.  If I move this offsite, it's going to
re-transfer the entire system over, which is what I *can't* have as
it'll take way too long to backup this much data.

Am I missing something here or doing something wrong?  I would have
thought that the diffs between the last increment and the current
backup would be "merged" somehow to create the latest full.

I'm running version 3.2.0beta1 as well.  Thanks for any assistance!

Regards,
Mike
