Backup growing faster than it should #194

Hi,

I have noticed that the backup after a week, even to it's more or less status quo with my files, are growing like crazy. I am backing up 1.9TB and the backup has grown to 3.6TB in just a few days. Seems like the hard-linking is not working maybe?

I am running Ubuntu Server 19.10, EXT4 on both disks and just your script vanilla (only added exclusion list).

Any ideas?

I deleted the backup and started over. Seems to work better now - so far at least.
