To clarify: It seems rsync is uploading some of the previously uploaded files 
to the server again (see the log for one such a file in my previous mail). 
After the upload finished, backuppc determines that the hash is the same, 
detects the file to be in the pool already and goes to the next file. It does 
this for a whole lot of files. The first backup run was interrupted after about 
9 hours. When I restarted it, after about 5 hours it was still 
reuploading/rechecking files which have been uploaded in the first run.

Can anyone tell me what _should_ happen in this case? Maybe I didn't understand 
the workings of backuppc right and what I see is totally normal.


Thanks
