Hi 
I have an exchange 2003 server which I have set up in backuppc using
Michael's backuppc rsync based client scripts
http://www.michaelstowe.com/backuppc/ and it appears to be working fine
with the exception that the mail store .edb and .stm files are only
being backed up when a Full Backup Job runs. 

I am assuming this is because the date modified file size of these
files is not changing as I have about 15 GB or so of space available in
in the priv1 mailbox store so its size is not increasing with current
day to day usage. I have checksum caching enabled so was wondering
if disabling that would result in changes in these files getting
detected. 
Does anyone know if it is possible to get rsync to backup these sort
files in an incremental backup or do I need to set this server to have
a full backup run every time (or create a specific backuppc client
alias just for the exchange store that runs full backups only)?

Thank you
