HBS incremental backup failure. My test case...

Post by 3apin5 »

Source: TVS-871, Firmware 5.0.0.1808, HBS 3 18.0.1012
Destination: TS-459, Firmware 4.2.6, Backup Station (no version information displayed)

Testing with Source folder of 97 files, 1.51 GB. From Source to Destination, HBS copies every single file every time and never does an incremental backup. "Check file contents" is not enabled. The files in the test folder are just normal .jpgs or .png or .flv, no weird filename characters (but there are dashes '-' and spaces in the file names). After the Source to Destination copy, all the file names, file sizes, and modified dates match. But HBS copies all the files all over again anyway.

Going the other way, from Destination to Source, Backup Station works perfectly and never copies an already existing file again - it actually does incremental backup.

Incremental backup with HBS seems completely broken. Anyone know why?


Thanks,
John

One thing to add:

From Source to Destination, the backups are setup as "One-way Sync Jobs" to a Remote Rsync Server (the Destination). These are not RRTR jobs.
