If I add '--omit-dir-times' to $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra}, then the backups set all the directory dates to the beginning of the Epoch.For example drwxr-xr-x 3 backuppc www-data 1024 Dec 31 1969 pc/ (note this is 1/1/70 00:00:00 GMT) This is inconsistent with normal rsync wich just uses --omit-dir-times to omit directories from --times when looking for *changes* I was expecting and would have liked the normal behavior of --omit-dir-times to speed up backups... Is this a bug???
No, it's expected behavior, you seem to have misunderstood what this rsync option does.
What it does is omit directories from the modification times that it sets. In other words, you're telling it not to set the times on directories it copies. The beginning of the epoch is pretty reasonable for directories which have no specific time set.
This option has no implications for which directories are selected to be copied.
