Right now I'm on my work system, which has only my music (no video).  The backups for this system are a few MB in size each.  They are all from automatic backups. 

I just ran a manual backup and it asked me if I wanted to include thumbnails.  I said "no" and it finished with a file that was 1.2MB.  I ran it again and this time answered "yes" to thumbnails.  Seconds later I had a backup file that was 42MB.  So 30 or 40 times larger.

My library is relatively small at around 8000 files.  If yours is much bigger then I would expect larger backups and especially if you include thumbnails.  You might try an experiment or two.

Brian.
