Hey Mark and Borph,
I tried to reproduce your phenomenon, but I can't. I use schedules per included folder, but the size of my snapshot dir stays the same.
Mark: the size of the snapshot should equal the size of the originating folder, the folder were the snapshots folders are located (backintime) should not equal the cumulative sizes of the separate snapshot folders, indicating that you use hardlinks. Could you verify that?
Borph: your problem is I think different because you apparently see *~ files. On what kind of partition do you save the snapshots (ext3 or fat32 or ...?) and is it located on a harddisk or memory card. What is your distribution, and the version of Backintime that you use?
Cheers,
Bart
