That's the reason BiT is transferring all files every time.\n\nI think It's not a problem related to permissions, etc. In fact, I don't know how to resolve this problem.\n\nDue to this issue, BiT can't be my backup tool. \n\nBefore trying BiT, I did backups with my own rsync-snapshots script without problems using ssh transport  and \"--link-dest\" option. Also, I use GRSYNC to do full-backups using ssh transport. In any case, I haven't to mount smb or ssh filesystems locally.\n\nI think that it would be a great BiT feature to support backups to remote servers using ssh capabilities of rsync (and its \"--link-dest\" option)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bit-team/backintime/issues/comments/147238024","html_url":"https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/156#issuecomment-147238024","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bit-team/backintime/issues/156","id":147238024,"user":{"login":"Germar","id":2731999,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2731999?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar","html_url":"https://github.com/Germar","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Germar/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-11T19:29:13Z","updated_at":"2015-10-11T19:29:13Z","body":"(by danleweb)\nThe problem with --link-dest is that the files must have the save rights/user/group.
