my goal is to have it updated every 15 minutes, i've gotten that to work 
but for incremental, with no changes, it's still taking about 10 minutes 
most of the time and it is doing traffic.

i do not understand why incremental with absolutely no changes is taking 
so long ?  ultimately i'd like to have a hundred thousand files being 
backed up constantly, is this just a dream ?

thanks in advance
