According to Phil Risby:
I don't have an actual answer, just an idea -- you might want to check
for the creation/modification time as well.
Many of the resources files ( the ones that matter ) can become
drastically different in a short period of time.
Also, it might be harder to restore the files in case of emergency --
half there, half here. If a hard drive fails, how are you going to install
rpms on a blank HD without OS ( are you sure all of the necessary utilities
will fit on a floppy? )? Personally, unless there an extremely good reason not
to do a complete backup ( followed by a couple of incremental ), I would go
with a complete backup.
I know it didn't help much,
Nikita.
