What method are you using to do the backup?
Why does the backup take so long? Is it bandwidth between the two 
machines or something else?

Potentially, using rsync or rsyncd will reduce the time to complete a 
backup, produce more accurate backups, and also reduce bandwidth 
consumption. Result is more backups, so better ability to restore 
if/when needed.

Other than that, I don't think there is any way to automatically do more 
incrementals, short of increasing the FullPeriod to a higher value....
PS, I assume day6 is nothing because even the incremental took 2 days to 
complete....
