When we verify a site on a web cluster, the contents of the site's dir get sync'd out to the remote servers. When we make a backup, we verify the site after making the db dump (to re-write the settings.php, I guess). This results in the db dump being sync'd out to the remotes too. It gets cleaned up afterwards, with the final verify. But still, this can consume a lot of bandwidth and time.
