I think you are misunderstanding how --verify works. If you say: rdiff-backup --verify-at-time 1Y it does not verify the last 1 years worth of backups. It verifies a single backup a year ago (I believe the closest backup before that exact time); hence the name "verify-at-time". As the manual says, "Check all the data in the repository *at* the given time." (emphasis added). That explains why you are not seeing the trend you expect. It also means you're getting less verification than you thought.
