The impact of this may be minimized by running rsync with the --modify-window=3601 command-line option. This will cause rsync to ignore modification time differences of one hour will allow rsync jobs to complete in the usual time period with a minimal impact on backup integrity. To get back to normal it will be necessary to run rsync with the usual modify-window on all files. This can be done in stages.
Am I right in thinking that if you use this option, files will still be selected for syncing if the checksums are different, even if the times are less than 3601 seconds apart?
