I have some files (MSSQL databases and other files) that I need backed
up always, even though their datestamp hasn't changed. For some files,
Windows keeps them open and writes data to various parts of the file but
the datestamp never gets updated. The file contents have changed, so
accurate=5 (MD5 hash) works as expected, but it's a waste of time
calculating the MD5 hash when I know the file will always have changed.

I'd like to add an 'A' option (eg accurate=A) to force
accurate_check_file to always return true without doing any tests. I
can't see that this would have any drawbacks...

The alternative is to create a separate job for these files and always
run that as full, but I'd prefer to do it all from a single VSS snapshot
and inside the single job.

Thanks

James
