Uh, is there some way Amanad could *detect* this at backup time and warn about it? Does that mean that all the backups are no good, even though they recovered on some servers before? (I didn't test all servers, I admit, I thought they were similar enough...) I specifically installed this version of tar in October to work with Amanda. It's version 1.13, which is the latest version available on any of the GNU mirrors. If I need a newer version can you tell me where to find it? -- Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group
