Well, it was "rsync -aHEv -delete" which was the start point of my unhappy experience. It seems to work well for Unix files, but for some older files/folders (I couldn't sort out what kinds of files/folders...), it messed up their modified time (updating the modified time to the time of the backup). This is why, I will no longer use it...

In fact, psync (a perl module) was much more reliable. But it cannot be compiled on Snow Leopard.

It's pity... But I understand.

Thank you anyway for this very useful command!
