I take tar backups from several different machines using cygwin-64 on Windows 7, plus tar backups from my linux box. When they're all done, I use cygwin on a WindowsXP box (cygwin-32) to copy the backup files to an offsite location and then verify the tar files. All this has worked great for several years but now appears to be broken.
I just created a tar backup on the newly-upgraded Windows7/cygwin-64 machine, but the verify on my WindowsXP/cygwin-32 fails with the following error: $ tar ztvf /cygdrive/J/backups_2013-10-25/EDP23_2013-10-31_C.tgz > /dev/null tar: Archive value -11112764583 is out of time_t range -2147483648..2147483647 At first glance, it looks like the 64-bit archive has a number too large for the 32-bit machine? I've recreated the tar backup to make sure that it wasn't a real error in the backup and still get the identical error... I've updated the setup on the 32-bit machine... Any suggestions for what I should check to see if it's a pilot error or to get a work-around?
