If so, either exclude those files from the backup, if they are say, log-type files, or turn on sparse file detection in the fileset (add sparse=yes to the fileset Options resource, as I recall). The only other thing I could think of is if you are using 'onefs=yes' and something introduced links such that most of your data is now being backed up multiple times.
