Glad I found this post. This saved me time and a headache. I have been meaning to start testing to see if a Full + Diffs would improve my backup scenario but have run into the situation where the Diff was often as big as the full backup. Now I can conditionally perform a full or diff backup based on the the predicted change percent. Seems to me this should be part of the native SQL Server functionality!

We are about to start implementing differntials in our environment and needed to understand the impact. This is great, thanks for sharing.
