Hi,
I looked though documentation and also checked last 9 months of
archives, but could not find the corresponding information. We are
having an issue with incremental backup with arkeia. Arkeia checks if
ctime/mtime of the file are changed, if so, it backs up.
I realized that when I ran rsync from a cammnd line, it changed ctime,
and preserved atime of the file in a destination as follows even though
a file has no change in its content. Is this a expected action for rsync ?
OS: Redhat linux WS 3.0
kernel: 2.4.21-20.ELsmp
nfs: nfs-utils-1.0.6-31EL
rsync: rsync-2.5.7-5.3E
Thanks,
yasushi
