Old versions put command line info in the image, creation date is preobably there, and quite likely the atime has changed on parts. I use "sumdir" to embed md5sums in the directory(s).

Old versions did not put commandline info in the image.

Newer versions (since April 2000) write an anomymized command line and version info.

Broken (hacked) versions may behave like old versions.....


You didn't say anything about atime. If atime changes with every backup, of course they will be different.
