Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Unchanged Files Being Incremented

[Austin Roberts]

That solves it. I'd overlooked that portion of the documentation because it starts by saying that option is automatic in Windows versions > 1.2.1, and I'm running 1.2.5. I guess that's not actually the case.

Thanks for the help,

I've been seeing this consistently, unless I use the --no-hard-links option. If you use that option, are unchanged files still incremented?

Can anyone confirm that this behavior is abnormal for backing up Windows to Linux? I've tried it on XP backing up to an Ubuntu Hardy desktop, and on Vista backing up to an Ubuntu Intrepid laptop. In both cases the target file system was JFS, and I ended up with numerous increments for files that haven't changed. It may be the JFS file system, in which case I could try something else, but first I'd like some verification that people are experiencing normal behavior backing up from Windows to Linux.
