I am trying to setup a backup system for my laptop. I have a USB hard drive (FAT formatted because I need to backup my wifes Windows laptop too). However, rsync keeps updating files that have not been touched in anyway between backups. In fact if I run my backup script twice in a row without otherwise using my computer, some files still get rewritten.
The rsync command I am using is:
rsync --force --ignore-errors -rv --delete
Any ideas why this is happening. I removed the options to preserve time, permissions etc because FAT does not support this.
Edit: It turns out the advise I read on the internet is wrong and FAT can have time preserved. This fixed the problem
