Cobian Reflector, incremental backups, downloading as much as uploading.....?!

[katherinegee]

I've bought a new NAS, which means I had to start a full backup again.

Now, I prefer using Cobian Reflector because it's simple: what, what not, where, when.
No accounts, no clouds, no fancy options that I'll never need.

The first, full backup was rather fast, making use of pretty much the whole gigabit of my LAN.
But now, when I update the backup with the incremental method, the upload speed is less than a megabyte and it downloads as much at the same time.

Why?!
Is it because it has to re-check the whole destination folder to compare which files are present and which ones not?

Perhaps you are NOT using the archive attribute method? And yes, it is also checking is the file exists (even when using the archive attribute)
