as i like your BackupPC_digestVerify with the "-a Add rsync digests if missing" ... what about to give the user the abillity to auto-create these caches on the first run (meaning that part of your script to be included in main)? Maybe some users want the penalty of a longer "first initial backup"? some kind of checkbox "autocreate checksums on new files" (defaults to no) + FAQ-Entry: - this function will create checksums on first creation and not as usual on the 2rd sync ???
