    If you list the files in the backup images, what's the excess of data ?

    I am bit puzzled about the statement "inclusion list manually". Usually you specify what to backup in the policy, then exclude what you don't need via a exclude_list, if you then have excluded too much, you can then include it again.

    What kind of filesystems are you backing up? Are they LOFS?

    Are you using non-global zones?
