It's happening to everyone that's copying file-by-file from what we can tell. It's hard to notice, though, which is why we didn't catch it.
It's not really a concern. When we figure out a way to fix it, you'll simply get back space on your backup. Some data in /Applications, /Library and /System is being copied each time we back up. We think it has to do with prebinding: modification dates are changing on the backup drive. Still researching.

CCC bloats too...

This supports thinking the root problem is a change in the function of the API's under Snow Leopard. I'm going to try a nuke-n-pave of the clone with both SD and CCC today and see if the results yield any other details. -- Marc |

Don't nuke and pave. Let us investigate this, Marc... seriously. We have seen some clues about what's going on. Wiping your own system is just going to take your time unnecessarily.

I'm expecting to see the same bloated results, and taking your advice will leave it be (with the exception of probably running a SD smart update just to make sure my scheduled run at 1 am tonight doesn't bail). FWIW, I enjoy this sort of stuff... empirical knowledge has value -- Marc ...and some time later:
