I recently got hit with a 200 usd bill from Rackspace for bandwidth

out why - the backup source didn't change much, and reading the
random daily e-mail reports that duply generates don't show any big
numbers. Does anyone know if perhaps the "verify" part of
backup_verify_purge is doing something traffic intensive?
yes. essentially it restores any file of the latest backup and
compares
it to the original path in the local file system. therefore pretty
much
all the last full and the incremental volumes have to be downloaded
again.
