[Networker] mtime directive question?
2009-06-18 19:55:43
Hi,
Kind of a stupid question here (sigh ...) but have to ask.
I have a client side directive (/data/dir1/.nsr) with the following:
+mtimeasm: .?* *
We created this because there were problems wherein the change of file
status time (not modtime) was getting affected on a ton of files every
night, and this was causing huge incrementals. By instituting this
directive, the problems went away, and we were subsequently only backing
up files whose mod time changed as opposed to the default which goes by
ctime (that's what I call it).
OK, so what happens if we run a level full on /data? Will a level full
still capture all the files regardless of their ctimes or mtimes, or
would this directive force the full to only capture files whose modtimes
had changed?
I want to say that the full will get everything regardless except for
anything that is being skipped (e.g. null', 'skip') by some other directive.
Thanks.
George
