darn. > > Please post your fileset definition. i already included it in the director configuration. anyhow, here it is again: <snip> FileSet { Name = "_Net_data" Include { Options { signature = MD5 wildfile="*.o" wildfile="*.pd_linux_o" wildfile="*~" wilddir="*/tmp" wilddir="*/temp" wilddir="*/Temp" wilddir="*/TEMP" wilddir="*/.svn" wilddir="*/.imap" wilddir="*/Maildir/.SPAM*" wilddir="*/Trash" wilddir="*/.Trash" wilddir="*/RECYCLER" wilddir="*/Temporary Internet Files" wilddir="*/.DS_Store" wilddir="*/.AppleDouble" exclude="yes" } File = /Net/data } Exclude { File = /Net/data/Benutzer.rsync } } </snip> > > Also, what is the output of > > stat /path/to/some/file > > where /path/to/some/file is a file that you didn't expect to see in the > incremental backup? # stat /Net/data/Sound/ablinger/Altar/05KStudie2.wav File: `/Net/data/Sound/ablinger/Altar/05KStudie2.wav' Size: 53315180 Blocks: 104136 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe00h/65024d Inode: 4133733 Links: 1 Access: (0744/-rwxr--r--) Uid: (10144/ablinger) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2012-01-11 00:35:17.963002882 +0100 Modify: 2003-12-09 14:12:50.000000000 +0100 Change: 2011-10-04 21:35:44.745746088 +0200 so the times seem to be fine (the ctime is when i copied the old files to the new fileserver) alas. btw, is there a way to "estimate" the next backup?
