"The File daemon (Client) decides which files to backup for an Incremental backup by comparing start time of the prior Job (Full, Differential, or Incremental) against the time each file was last “modified” (st_mtime) and the time its attributes were last “changed”(st_ctime). If the file was modified or its attributes changed on or after this start time, it will then be backed up."

Change of owner/permissions is a change of file attributes. So, according to that logic, it should be backed up again.

Read the whole Job Level section to better understand the Incremental/Differential level and the logic behind them.

Hi,
When we change the owner/group permissions of files/directories it will backup again these files/directories even when the files/directories did not change.
Is this a normal behavior?
Sometime we need to change the ownership of big files/directories but every time it will be back-upped again
thanks in advance
regards
