Hello,

I have a system that currently uses rsync (via rsnapshot) with --link-dest enabled to backup our mail store...

If I change the permissions on the source maildirs, will this cause everything to be transferred again? Meaning, will rsync see everything as 'modified', thus creating a new copy of the entire mail store on the backup target?

Or will the newest backup directory just reflect the new permissions for the hardlinked files, without making new copies of everything?
