This may (or may not) solve the OP's problem, but it doesn't answer the question.

That's literally true. His question was "Why are the hard links taking up so much hard drive space?" and I hold him how he could do the types of backups he wants to do and have the hard links take up less space. So I think I provided a potential solution if not an answer to the strictly literal question.
