Well, sure. You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options to tar. See where it says "Running:" and then your "tar" command line? There's no command there to tell tar to do anything. $TarClientCmd, for example, is usually something like '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals' -- if you notice that first "-c" in the command line, it's the one that tells tar to actually create an archive (as opposed to complaining that you've neglected to tell it to do anything.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
