Having the same issue after upgrading to SL. Your suggestion did nothing for me personally.

OS 10.6.2 (Intel)

TC using FW 7.4.1 or 7.4.2

Here’s the fix that worked for me:

Fix on ready nas
I tried the reverse firmware and no change. But the Spotlight privacy fix was the one that worked.

Having the same problem. Downgraded the firmware to no avail. Have you heard of any other fixes?

I had same problem, although with a WD MyBook HDD rather than a Time Capsule, and eventually gave up and bought SuperDuper. Wish I’d found it sooner!

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my iMac, (2007), doesn’t perform incremental backups. After the first backup, each subsequent backup is almost the same size, ( 330 GB ), and it does this every hour until I run out of space on the third hour.
My MacBook Pro, (2009), had no such issue after the upgrade.
I use firewire800 connection on both boxes.
Switching to Carbon Copy in the meantime
