It seems to me that nothing, if the backup was done. The file grows and
grows until it's maximum size is reached, and then next volume is used.

The same goes with DVD, an "empty" volume is "sometimes" 202 bytes,
"sometimes" it is 0 bytes, god only knows what's the difference.

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time.  So long
as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks
into, there is room for lateral movement.  Once this begins, its rate is
a matter of discretion.
