Why the '-u'?  Probably harmless, but not appropriate for a backup.

Some extra size will come from loss of hard links. rsync(1):

              Note  however  that -a does not preserve hardlinks,
              because finding multiply-linked files is expensive.
              You must separately specify -H.
