I previously wrote:
What's happening is that backup #12 is trying to go back to incremental #5 
(which is the level 1 incremental.) I added many folders in-between incremental 
#5 and incremental #10, and if I could get it to use a higher incremental, like 
#7 I think it would include those large files already in the pool.

I ended up just running a full backup again. Now I have another question:
The "New files" summary shows about 25 GB of new files were imported during 
this full backup, but the /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/$host/new folder grew to over 
285 GB during the backup. Is there a good way to estimate how much data was 
transferred over the wire? Am I correct in guessing that it moved all the files 
across the wire and held them in the /new folder until it could compare them, 
then linked/discarded them as necessary?
