I see you are using the
-v argument
Quote:
-v
Causes the backup command to display additional information
about the backup. When using the -v flag, the size of the file
as it exists on the archive is displayed in bytes. Additionally,
a total of these file sizes is displayed when all files have
been processed. Directories are listed with a size of 0.
Symbolic links are listed with the size of the symbolic link.
Hard links are listed with the size of the file, which is how
hard links are archived. Block and character devices, if they
were backed up, are listed with a size of 0.
Further, as the files are already compressed I would disable hardware compression - since it is unlikely it is giving you much assistance.
Together with the -v option you should be able to determine who much space
backup thinks it has written to the device.

Reason: oops: you are already using -v - went from suggestion to question!
