Re: [Networker] Networker makes always full backup (rsync)

Another idea : are you seeing backup levels as "FULL"
or as "INCR" (or differential levels) with size like a full ?
Can also be manual saves with no referenced timestamp option
that takes incr/diff backups with full-like sizing.
If there are all full, maybe client or group-based schedule
to be looked at.

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.
