Back In Time

Use a FSevents like framework to detect filesystem changes

Registered by Bart de Koning

Now backintime uses rsync itself to detect any changes on the included folders. While this works perfect for a small number of files, it takes an enormous amount of resources and time when there are loads of files involved. It would be better to rely on a FSevents like framework.
