Well see, thats just wasting space. Why back up somthing that hasn't even been changed since the last backup? It doesnt really make a lot of sence. This method does what it is supposed to do, but is not really good when all I can spare for backup is a 100 GB partition. Thanks for the tip though .. I didnt know what it was called.
