I've got an rdiff-backup from Windows to Linux for my Desktop and My Documents folder.

I am basically using duplicity to backup the rdiff-backup results to an offline site.

My "Desktop" folder is rather large (over 1G).

The problem is that duplicity did the initial full backup two nights ago. After it completed, I waited a few hours and ran everything manually, and saw that a small incremental was created since nothing had changed. When I got up this morning, all 1G was re-uploaded. Why in the world is duplicity uploading things that have not changed? It only did this for my Desktop, no other folders. Just as a sample I used the restore option to grab the original backup and last nights large incremental. When I compared a few files they were identical. What in the world would cause this and how would I go about find out why?

To avoid the wasted money and bandwidth, I have reduced the size of my backup, blew away my backup, and am starting over.

I don't have the archive anymore, but I do have a verbose level 5 log.
