For most this would be tar or dump. These record when the last dump was done and check if any change has occured since that time. Most likely this is done by comparing the last dumpdate with the files "ctime" (change time). This would account for changes to the data or to the file's properties, eg. link count, permissions, etc. You can see a file's ctime with "ls -lc". Welcome to the world according to amanda.
