Our Linux servers are backuped by using rsync. Rsync copy all new

The problem is that Networker always makes a full backup of data
that comes to Linux server. I suppose this is somethings to do with
rsync because other files (Linux file system (/root, /opt/ ....))
are not fully backuped.
What do you think about it?
Two things I could immediately think of are to see whether there are
any settings available for you in rsync to fully preserve ctime/mtime
on the synchronisation. It's been a while since I've done anything
with rsync other than very basic transfers, so I can't recall what it
offers there.
If rsync is preserving mtime but not preserving ctime for the
transfers, you may want to look at invoking the mtimeasm process for
the backup of the rsync target repository via a custom directive -
that may get you where you need to be.
Cheers,
Preston.
