I am backing up several NT machines to files on a Linux server with
the purpiose of backing up these file using amanda.  The backup keep
failing with a timeout during the sendsize.  I experimentd a bit and
discovered that the --sparse option was causing this.  So....

Is this a problem with tar and I can just upgrade?

Can this option be turned off for the particular filesystem?

I found thread from April where someone else had this problem but no
solution.

Amanda version: 2.4.2p2
Tar version: 1.13.19
