rsync should not(i mean, it is designed not) assume that a file exists under
any circumstances. It should still check every file's mtime.
I think i may just add -I to the rsync commands. I have looked through
config.pl but I only see a single rsync args section, not one for fulls and
incrementals. I'm not really concerned with the time it takes to do a
checksum on these files so id rather do a checksum than not. Id just do
fulls but I have a schedule for fulls and incrementals so I get fulls at
month end and incrementals in between
