Hello,

I started using flexbackup, nice tool.

The changes for version 0.9.9.7 (200301015) talk about considering ctime when
selecting files for backup. This currently only works for local backups, not
remote backups. Are there any plans to make ctime checking available also for
remote backups? This could possibly be done by storing timestamp files for
remote backups on the remote machine rather than on the local machine.

Another problem with ctime is that even for local backups, the timestamp file
is created after the backup has finished. Its mtime is set to the beginning of
the backup, but its ctime is obviously set to the time the file is created,
i.e. after the backup, so files whose attributes changed during the backup will
not be considered in the next backup. Timestamp files should be created at the
beginnning of the backup.
