First of all: Thanks for your answer. I nearly thought I get ignored on
this list. :)

Maybe it's a bad idea, I can't decide this, but couldn't bacula compare
_filesizes_ also to decide, wether a file has changed? This could be
done configurably, so people who don't want that could turn it off.

It could be also done on a per FileSet basis.

If it is a bad idea, please explain why.
