Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had insight in the matter of trying to backup a large 
partition
while the files on that partition are currently being updated/deleted?  We knew we were
getting a lot of error messages so we decided to call the reported error messages 
"normal"
by defining the error message string as DMP_NORMAL instead of DMP_STRANGE.  Anyhow, 
please
view the following output below:

Note: -->> gtar exited with a non-zero exit code for some reason?

We don't know why the tar err'd, but when doing a verify, it was getting
 called with --ignore-failed-read.  So we think it might be either a bug
 in tar or the error was caused by something else?

Also, does anyone know how to not exclude lines in
 the report even though they are 'NORMAL'.  Possibly adding something like
 DMP_NORMAL_DONT_REPORT to go along with our current DMP_NORMAL and DMP_STRANGE?

Any help is appreciated,

Eric Nelson

AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS!!!
