Why don't you put back the default settings to see they work as
expected?   With v3, the default of weekly fulls works out pretty well
since a longer interval makes rsync transfer more since it sends
changes since the last full - or do more work tracking multiple
directories if you use incremental levels.   Also I sometimes catch
typos or unexpected changes in config files by diffing them against
the default copy.    In any case, bump up the FullKeepCntMin to
something bigger.   Remember, with BPC, multiple copies don't cost
much to store.

And going back to v3, you could get an idea of how long it might take
to start by running something like this on the client:
"time find / -ctime 500 >/dev/null"   (basically any option to cause
the inode values to be read)
plus some overhead for sending the list to the server (and a lot more
if it fills RAM and swaps...).
