Yep. When I said "there are some issues with my plan", that was one of
them. On the other hand, it's not quite as bad as you might think;
most backups don't *change* much, so the first backup takes a long
time but then after that it shouldn't be so bad. It's still a flaw if
you want to add 200MB of photos every few days, though.
