I use tar --listed-incremental=... to perform incremental backups on my computer, and for the most part it works like a charm. However, it doesn't seem to play well with my old FAT partition. It thinks that all the files have changed and backs up everything. I read somewhere that tar incremental backups rely on inodes, and that's why it doesn't work well with FAT. Is there a way to fake it, or force it to just use name and modification date instead of inode?
