<div class="markdown_content"><p>After the last backup run, I discovered that the md5sum<br /> was calculated for almost all files. Some random<br /> samples using ps proved that storebackup calculates the<br /> md5sum of files whose mtime lies far behind the last<br /> backup.</p> <p>Unfortunetaly, the debug mode didn't tell me why the<br /> md5sum was calculated.</p> <p>This phenomena enhances the backup time significantly,<br /> because almost all data is read and only a minor<br /> percentage actually written.</p> <p>How is that to explain and how can I avoid it?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Nikolaus</p></div>
