Not for each backup, no. After upgrading isync I ran into the "incompatible journal version" error (discussed in another thread on this list) and was too lazy to downgrade, re-sync and re-upgrade, so I just synced again from scratch with the new isync. It's true that after the initial sync subsequent incremental syncs are much less likely to exit mid-way through syncing. >>I'd have to write a loop to keep running isync until it exits with 0 >>(assuming it never exits with 0 without finishing the whole sync).

I had a look at the TODO file, sounds good!
