Hi Matthias,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I've had a lot of tight deadlines.
I'm not backing up a windows client... It's a Linux server offering a samba share.
To be fair, thinking about it, since I'm using rsync, it's just a Linux server, and the fact that I access it with Windows clients is irrelevant.
No VSS - because Linux...
Good news on the backup front...
Still, very strange about the different numbers of files reported on Windows when looking at the share, but I guess that's one of those strange glitchy things with MS products...
I think pretty much the only thing I backup is the /home, /etc, /usr and /var...
Thanks for your help on this...
Cheers,
Jx

That is unbelievable.
You backup a windows client, right?
There should be a lot of files which can not be backuped because they are in
use.
Do you use volume shadow copies in windows?

But nevertheless, you have backups of all files specified in your
configuration.
If you check your backup include/exclude configuration you should find which
files are not backuped.
