this was on an rsync incremental. There was no error in the Xfers log, it
is like the file was not there. The atime on the file is from before the
backup so I know the file was there. I have only seen this one time.
its true that only rsync actually does a file list but that doesnt mean that
a seperate file list process could not be run either with a find command
over ssh, or with a locally mounted tar backup.
The idea of marking it partial is that backuppc would then kick in on the
next wakeup and try to finish the job because there was not a completed
backup within the schedule. Then the next backup would have very little to
transfer and may pick up the missing file.
