I use BackupPC and bacula for backups, I once lost a complete backuppc pool/filesystem by a defect raid controller. So I need 2 backup windows. But the option to do a full backup only once in 2 weeks sounds a resonable option. What I not quite understand is that inc. backup also take much longer than before. > A more extreme change would be to edit Rsync.pm to not add the --ignore-times > option on fulls.

Hm, I think I'll leave this optios as it is. In the list archives I found some posts about the --whole-file option, but no definitive answer if RsyncP supports it and if it's usefull at all.
