Hi,
after evaluating the logs, I found that the initial backup shows a ratio 
repo size to data size of 67,36%. That's fine.
Following incremental backup however show ratio over 100% without 
exception, sometimes up to several thousand percent, that means that the 
repo size increase is more than ten times the size of the newly added 
data to backup. Top value is 3777%, calculated from only 9 MB new data 
(probably just the borg log ;-)), resulting in a 340 MB increased repo size.

Ist this normal/correct/to be expected?
How ist it explained?
