Hello all… I cannot seem to wonder why incremental backups would take 18 hours?

2011-02-26 23:00:10 incr backup started back to 2011-02-21 20:00:01 (backup #0) for directory /etc

2011-02-26 23:02:15 incr backup started back to 2011-02-21 20:00:01 (backup #0) for directory /home

2011-02-27 16:34:08 incr backup started back to 2011-02-21 20:00:01 (backup #0) for directory /usr/local/src

2011-02-27 16:35:41 incr backup started back to 2011-02-21 20:00:01 (backup #0) for directory /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup

2011-02-27 18:01:46 incr backup 5 complete, 12825 files, 28192345844 bytes, 0 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)

The home dir is under 50 gigs, and its incremental? Both server involved here are dual Quad Core Xeons with 12 gigs of RAM, the server being backed up is a software RAID1, and the backupPC server has a system partition that is a RAID 1 but the /var/lib/backupPC is on another physical disk that is 2.0TB  no RAID. Network is Gigabit.

What am I doing wrong or missing here?

Here are the other times this machine was backed up, pretty slow as well..

Any suggestions?

Thanks to all..
