Hi,
I'm rolling out Amanda on our network, and using tar to do backups.
I'm wondering why so many answeres in the FAQ and on this list say
to use the latest version of tar? I have FreeBSD boxes here ranging
from 2.2.5 to 4.1 (which is several years worth of releases) and
they all use GNU tar version 1.11.2 by default. Putting a new
version of tar on all of my machines when the FreeBSD developers
seem quite happy with the version they're using is something that
I'm cautious about. ;)
In my testing so far I don't seem to have encountered any problems
with tar, so why should I upgrade? Pros/Cons?
Thanks,
John
