Why does the backup take so long? Is it bandwidth between the two machines or something else?
Potentially, using rsync or rsyncd will reduce the time to complete a backup, produce more accurate backups, and also reduce bandwidth consumption. Result is more backups, so better ability to restore if/when needed. Other than that, I don't think there is any way to automatically do more incrementals, short of increasing the FullPeriod to a higher value.... PS, I assume day6 is nothing because even the incremental took 2 days to complete....
