Hi

The p9p vac discussion made me re-think the way I use vac.

man vac
"-q    Increase the performance of the -a or -d options by detecting
unchanged files based on a
        match of the files name and other meta data, rather than
examining the contents of the files"

Why is -q not a default? Is there a reliability concern with that option?

I am currently doing an hourly backup using

vac -d old_date-time.vac -f new_date-time.vac /home
which gives me a collection files with a date-time.vac filename.

I am thinking I should just use vac -a main.vac /home
to switch to this method I only need to rename latest date-time.vac to main.vac
and delete the other ones, right?
