Sorry, but I must disagree. In my experience, Retrospect does *NOT* skip files that have changed between the start and the actual backup. It *does* complain when files change between the backup and the compare. But even then, these files have already been backed up, and are most likely just fine.
(I have restored from a backup where the Microsoft Database file was, in all likelihood, flagged as "changed" between the backup and compare operations. The restored database has performed quite well, thank you! :-) Depending upon how one's preferences are set, such "errors" can stop the backup process. I have always allowed Retrospect to continue after it logs an error, since the remainder of the backup generally works just fine.
