Full backup (needed but one time only)?, yes.
Incremental (the most obvious way)?, minutes.
This is not my experience, but I have not done it in all imaginable ways. Can you back this up (pun not intended, aargh), by telling me what backup method / software you use, and how big your filesystems are, and maybe even the rate of change on the data?
Most of the backup software I use does block level deltas, so "incremental" backups still take significant time.
