Re: GTAR incremental backup problem

[Ian Zimmerman]

Mirek> gtar -c -v -G -N "$DAT"  -f /tmp/incr.tar

Don't use -G and -N together.

-G does true incremental backup, recording the files it dumps in a
 side output file.  -N is just a quick and crude manual approximation
 of that (what precision is your $DAT?)

This is very much a FAQ, unfortunately IIRC the tar documentation
doesn't explain this well.
