Potential off-topic-ness here... What if there were a Fileset options directive similar to "verify" which would apply for non-Full Backup jobs instead of having individual options like "mtimeonly"? So "diffcriteria" (or some other name) would by default would be mc for st_mtime and st_ctime. If necessary it could be overridden to cause the File Daemon to compute and compare a hash, etc? Probably an option you wouldn't want to mess with too much, but for certain groups of files it may be handy. -- --Darien A.
