Thank you, this fully explains what has happened in my case.

Can you trust backups that seem to regularly take so long? To explain, I was using rsync, performing (regular) automated backups after moving to a new partition where I accidentally wiped out my old backups during the move. My automated daily incremental backups failed whereas my automated weekly full backup succeeded. Future incremental backups will only take a few minutes. So for me, everything is back to normal.
