Wow, that was a fast response.

That one failed 'Too many recent increments'

After removing current_mirror.2016-08-21T22:07:29+02:00.data I can again
--list-increments
( *this output is from todays try* http://pastebin.com/V0bKu3LV )

I did remove that file yesterday but it didn't fix the problem.
Running my backup gave me immediately this error:
http://pastebin.com/qLtRe861

I tried the steps 1-3 again today. This time there was no
1.2016-07-30T16:25:41+02:00.diff.gz file to remove in long_filename_data/
But a new current_mirror.2016-08-21T22:07:29+02:00.data file had to be
removed.
The result was the same. I could run the --list-increments option
successfully, but the backup failed with the exception.

Do you have more suggestions what I could try?

Thank you.
Michael
