Hi Markus,

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I was not able to solve the problem. Currently we arre running a daily full backup, and try to live with it (it takes 5 h instead of 3-5minutes). I guess it has to do with the Samba shares. I am still hoping that I can find a solution. If I can't find any prehaps I will move to Unison.

Greetings
Attila

Hi!

I had a thought.  In the manpage for rdiff-backup, see if the paragraph
for
the "--no-compare-inode" option might explain what is happening.
I have the same problem now since 4 weeks. rdiff-backup is used for many
years on a Debian server to backup a Windows file server over various CIFS
shares.

After I moved the virtual machine of my Windows server from VMware Server to
VMware ESXi all files were always treated as changed on every backup. I can
reproduce this also with a clean backup repository. This only happens if the
backup source is a CIFS mount.

I tried various rdiff-backup flags (--no-compare-indoe, --no-acl, --no-eas)
and various mount options (iocharset and so on) with no success. The backup
needs now ~ 20 hours instead of 3-5 hours before...

@Attila Strba: How did you solve this problem?


TIA,

Markus
