Usually, I would say that this is a limitation of the UNIX filesystem. A directory's modification time can change anytime you add or remove a file in that directory. Obviously it doesn't make sense to re-backup every file in a hierarchy just because you created or removed one. However, in this case you are using gnutar, which creates listed incrementals (I assume you did not configure --without-gnutar-listdir) that can be used to detect the renaming of a directory. Therefore I have forwarded your complaint to the GNU tar folks. Cheers, --Ian -- Forums for Amanda discussion: http://forums.zmanda.com/
