If you have DLEs on external (USB) drives I strongly recommend to set 
this to "NO".
The property translates to the --check-device option of tar (on by 
default) what makes tar consider the device number when creating 
incremental archives. As that number might change on reboot you'll see 
in that case a full backup of all DLEs on a particular disk even though 
the data is unchanged.
