That's the usual incentive. ;-)

This is one of the backup processes I use.

Very odd. Travan tapes are excruciatingly slow, but that does not explain
this.
You need to do a bit of analysis. The obvious thing to do is look at the
backup catalog and see if it contains files that should not be there. Are
there any of these?

How do you know this? Is this based on inspecting the catalog content?
Are you sure you did not select copy rather than differential?

It doesn't matter here.
