For the record: plain gtar 1.12 needs to be patched to handle large files (> 2GB). plain gtar 1.13 makes bad index-lists which amrecover cannot handle, as does the rarely used 1.13.9x, which changed the index-format again in an incompatible way.
In production environment I use only 1.13.19 or 1.13.25 currently.
There is also a tar 1.15 release out now; can anyone comment on its compatibility with AMANDA? I'm asking mainly because 1.13.25 is getting rather old.
