[Borgbackup] (too) many modified files

[Boris Kirkorowicz]

Hi,
looking for possible reasons for long backup duration, I added these 
options to the borg command line:
-v --list --filter=AMCE --stats --show-rc -C zstd
and pipe it to al log file. Therin, I found 524 files marked "A" solely 
from my own home directory. As far as I understand this means that 524 
files are new and added to the repo within one day. That sounds plausible.

But I found more than 600k files marked "M". Does that mean that these 
files are identified as modified and added to the repo as well?
If so, this must be an error, since (almost?) all of them weren't 
touched for years. If all these files were processed, it would explain 
the (needless) long backup duration.

How can I find out more?
