This doesn't sound right if you only have one target. Does the server
and the backuppc service run continuously? Maybe it isn't running the
backuppc_nightly job that removes the unneeded pool/cpool copies.

If you are using rsync, any large files that grow or have small changes
(databases, logs, etc.) will only transfer the difference but the server
side will reconstruct the full size file and store it as a separate copy.

If your target is a 64-bit linux system, be sure you aren't backing up
/var/log/lastlog - or at least check its size. On some versions this is
a huge sparse file that copies generally don't handle very well.
