Tobias,
I can't remember if I have told you, but the best way to find out why a backup is HUGE is to search the log for the phrase "large file". Here are the search results which show both the files and their sizes in bytes:
INFO |130228 12:50:23|Breaking step _before_ large file: <root>/old/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup/site-www.santegra.de-20130225-121502.jpa - size: 70662146
INFO |130228 12:50:27|Breaking step _before_ large file: <root>/old/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup/site-www.santegra.de-20130225-091059.jpa - size: 70074674
and so on. You are backing up old backup archives found under the /old site directory. Go to Files and Directories Exclusion page and exclude the old directory or, at least, the old/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup directory.
In 100% of "backup file too large" cases this is what happens: the user has forgotten that he's backing up another site and its backups.
