Ok thanks, I had another first full backup run and it took 14 hours to complete, it was under 125 gigs...

To avoid race conditions as new files are linked into the pool area, only a single BackupPC_link program runs at a time and the rest are queued. BackupPC_link reads the NewFileList written by BackupPC_dump and inspects each new file in the backup. It re-checks if there is a matching file in the pool (another BackupPC_link could have added the file since BackupPC_dump checked). If so, the file is removed and replaced by a hard link to the existing file. If the file is new, a hard link to the file is made in the pool area, so that this file is available for checking against each new file and new backup. Then, for incremental backups, hard links are made in the new backup to all files that were not extracted during the incremental backups. The means the incremental dump looks like a complete image of the PC (with the exception that files that were removed on the PC since the last full dump will still appear in the backup directory tree).
