I'm experiencing something and I just want to check if I'm  
understanding what is happening.


I backup Linux-Linux with XferMethod =  rsync. Occasionally a full  
backup of one of my large systems fails for one reason or another. So  
I exclude some big directories and run it again, and then have the  
subsequent incrementals get the previously excluded directory.

However, and this is the part I'm not completely sure of, each  
subsequent incremental copies the originally missing files over and  
over and declares them pooled rather than same.

I thinks this is the way it is designed, but it is a problem in this  
case, because copying these large files from large directories has a  
strong performance impact on the client machine (which annoys my users).

Is this indeed what is happening? And is there anything I can do  
about it, short of running an unscheduled full  backup?
