The system was scanning the entire disk looking for changes in usage of the drive (well partition) space - so cache is not really in the equation. The problem was that it was doing that for each backed-up partition, at startup, and then at about hourly intervals, and queuing the reads so aggressively that the system was getting delay write failures and missing USB, comms, and other input.
Substantial conversations with their support and the best answer was uninstall after a backup, reinstall to take another backup Own investigation found that not running the service doesn't seem to cause any problems except the long delay at startup when you re-instate it to do a backup, but it would normally run at startup anyway so no real additional problems with only running the service when intending to do a backup - incremental or full.
