I realized this wont fix the problem of renames. My second thought on this
would be to develop a new transfer method that uses rsync initially to get a
file listing and then construct a list of files that need to be transferred.
Then you pass this to the tar method and use this rather than the -newer option
of tar. This would solve both the deletion and rename problem of incremental
tar.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar method - deleted files workaround
You could use a combination of
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd}<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_dumppreusercmd_>
and
BackupPC_deleteFile<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=BackupPC_DeleteFile>
to accomplish this.

As a workaround for the tar method not detecting deletions on localhost
backups, would it be possible to write a script that is run after each
incremental to perform a file listing on the source directory and compare that
to the list of backed up files and delete those in the backup that are no
longer in the source directory. I realize this is a workaround and would only
be appropriate for localhost backups but it wouldn't be a bad solution since
incrementals are quick, run when no one is using the system and it would make
the full backups much faster than rsyncd.
