Re: [BackupPC-users] idea

rsync should not(i mean, it is designed not) assume that a file exists under any circumstances. It should still check every file's mtime. I think i may just add -I to the rsync commands. I have looked through config.pl but I only see a single rsync args section, not one for fulls and incrementals. I'm not really concerned with the time it takes to do a checksum on these files so id rather do a checksum than not. Id just do fulls but I have a schedule for fulls and incrementals so I get fulls at month end and incrementals in between

The idea of marking it partial is that backuppc would then kick in on the
next wakeup and try to finish the job because there was not a completed
backup within the schedule. Then the next backup would have very little to
transfer and may pick up the missing file.
Are you sure this wasn't a case of an incremental backup where the
atime/mtime on the file was from before the prior incremental? Rsync
incrementals (IIRC) skip files that should have been captured in a
prior incremental (or a prior full).
Even incrementals in rsync are supposed to check that a copy exists with the same mtime and file length in the previous full (or full or incremental if you are doing incremental levels).
