I thinks this is closely related to what is in the plans for BackupPC, have a look below: ,---- http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/roadMap.html | Replacing smbclient with the perl module FileSys::SmbClient. This | gives much more direct control of the smb transfer, allowing | incrementals to depend on any attribute change (eg: exist, mtime, file | size, uid, gid), and better support for include and exclude. Currently | smbclient incrementals only depend upon mtime, so deleted files or | renamed files are not detected. FileSys::SmbClient would also allow | resuming of incomplete full backups in the same manner as rsync will. `---- > > Is anyone aware of the workaround to this issue in using the backuppc? > > Are there any possible registry settings on Windows machine that can be > changed to make the modification time as the time at which it was copied. I think it should be easier to use rsync for now.
