Thus, it is necessary to add the --modify-window=X option to rsync command line wit ha value of X of at least 2 (but I use 10 for good measure) to avoid copying the same data ovre and over. Merci beaucoup! backintime, c'est bien le meilleur soft pour backup sur linux et le seul avec une interface pour kde4.

In my case it was happening with a samba share mounted from a wd MyBook World hard disk. It is caused by a bug in the samba/cifs server of the disks that causes rsync to fail to set the correct time of files. A symptom is that you can still change the times with the "touch -d " command. The solution I found here http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Book-World-Edition/CIFS-problem/td-p/15421 worked for me: add the nodfs to the mount options of the samba share. After that backintime works correctly: no errors are issued and backups are incremental. It took me quite some time to work out the origin of this issue.

I have a used dual Xeon machine and I have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to configure it. It's not just all about data. You don't really have anything for me, or do you? I'd like to back up the entire disk, like Acronis in Windowz. PS: I'll buy you and me each a beer if you do! :-) I have converted to Ubuntu 10.04 (again) 64.
