Why are incremental backups so large?

I've installed RTC 2.0.0.2 iFix 3 Express-c for my personal use.

I run an incremental DB2 backup each night. I've been surprised how large these backups have been, considering that on many days, I'm not using RTC.

The backups are in the 88-95 MB range. I send these backups to an offsite, backup service, so I would like them to be as small as possible.

Is there something that I can tune, to make these smaller? Why are all these DB pages being changed?
