I am having an issue with the script backing up all files

[sgeorgopanos]

I have setup the script to run a cron backup, but upon every run job it is backing up all files instead of checking for changed files and backing up those only. has anyone seen this issue and resolved it?

this is what I am running

sh rsync_backup.sh -p 6450 --strategy "30:2" /home/example/Documents [email protected]:/home/example/Documents

I have the same issue.

rsync_tmbackup.sh SOURCE DESTINATION exclude_list.txt

I see no hard-links to files that did not change.
I confirmed this bug by checking the disk usage: every backup is (unfortunately) a full backup.

@sgeorgopanos Even running the command as root - as suggested somewhere - did not help (although it suppressed error messages on hard link creation).
