Same trouble :) In true, i already have used the dirvish tool to synchronize the directories daily, but it creates backups hard link based and it creates a tree that have the "ctime" updated (because the hard links do it) and then the incremental backups do a level 0 always. If i did not found a solution, i will try to do a plain rsync daily, like you. Joel
