[rdiff-backup-users] saving access time

[Alex Samad]

Hi

I am using  rdiff-backup to backup a directory full of family photos,
this all goes to a server in the shed for backup and then I rsync it to
another server at my parents place - just in case :)

there isn't much change to the information, but I have noticed that not
all the time information is kept in sync

so on the original server

 stat 2004022438.tif
   File: `2004022438.tif'
     Size: 30981801     Blocks: 60584      IO Block: 4096   regular file
     Device: fd06h/64774d       Inode: 11502334    Links: 1
     Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (   33/www-data)   Gid: (
     1026/gallery2)
     Access: 2009-10-31 18:58:03.000000000 +1100
     Modify: 2006-03-14 15:59:35.000000000 +1100
     Change: 2009-04-29 22:17:03.000000000 +1000


on the rdiff server

 stat 2004022438.tif
   File: `2004022438.tif'
     Size: 30981801     Blocks: 56696      IO Block: 4096   regular file
     Device: 11h/17d    Inode: 262372      Links: 1
     Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (   33/www-data)   Gid: (
     1026/gallery2)
     Access: 2009-10-31 18:57:53.061690672 +1100
     Modify: 2009-10-31 18:58:12.241691184 +1100
     Change: 2009-10-31 18:58:12.245690746 +1100

and this is causing rsync to have to move more files than is necessary !


there is one other avenue I need to investigate the destination sites on
top of fusecompress file system!
