Re: [flexbackup-help] FW: FLEXBACKUP ON UBUNTU 16.04 NOT WORKING
Good find John. I've moved to backupninja for simple backup scripts on newer machines, but still very happy with flexbackup for many tasks. Looks like switching backup $type from tar to 'afio' would be a good simple step until the tar issue gets sorted out. On 1 December 2016 at 15:25, John R.

Re: [flexbackup-help] FW: FLEXBACKUP ON UBUNTU 16.04 NOT WORKING
This appears to be related to a new tar release. There's a provisional patch being discussed on the Gentoo Forums here.- John-Original Message- From: Stephan Cilliers Sent: Dec 1, 2016 6:52 AM To: flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [flexbackup-help] FW: FLEXBACKUP ON UBUNTU 16.04 NOT WORKING Dear FlexBackup I have been using FlexBackup successfully for the past 8 years on Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04 and 14.04 TLS. I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 TLS and noticed a strange phenomena. When I extract the zipped file, duplicate files are reported in the destination folder.
