[BackupPC-users] Tar method - deleted files workaround

As a workaround for the tar method not detecting deletions on localhost backups, would it be possible to write a script that is run after each incremental to perform a file listing on the source directory and compare that to the list of backed up files and delete those in the backup that are no longer in the source directory. I realize this is a workaround and would only be appropriate for localhost backups but it wouldn’t be a bad solution since incrementals are quick, run when no one is using the system and it would make the full backups much faster than rsyncd.
