I'm doing two things (altough I'm not sure that answer your question correctly):

1) rsync of cpool without --delete (so, cpool will keep growing, no files will 
ever be deleted. I assume that's fine apart from the fact it will take more 
disk space).

2) I'm doing 'snapshots' of backup sets BackupPC_tarPCCopy that are 3-5 days 
old; I would expect that

"I'm not sure how you can tell when everything is linked": exactly! Neither do 
I. But I have the feel that sometimes a backup set will be skipped from being 
linked completely, or at least that may happen for new files that are not yet 
in the cpool. That would explain my big tar files with BackupPC_tarPCCopy at 
least...

Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it.
