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.

Backup Software: Collection of rsync scripts

File Systems: 400 GB

Rate of Change in Data: About 50GB a day, meaning data that is changed, not necessarily added.

Time to perform a backup after the initial one, a few minutes, usually below five.
