I don't think that's correct. That is the default setting for rsync, but BackupPC uses the --ignore-times option for full backups, which means "don’t skip files that match size and time". If you run the BackupPC_dump in a shell, you'll see that it uses a long time even for files already in the pool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
