That is good to know, I never looked at the gnutar-list directory before. But I considered permissions. Look alright to me: $ ls -la total 3728 drwxr-xr-x 2 amandabackup disk 4096 Jun 2 04:37 . drwxr-xr-x 20 amandabackup disk 4096 May 26 15:20 .. -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 5047 May 31 03:30 bigcowHOME_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 5047 Jun 2 03:29 bigcowHOME_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 5047 May 22 01:18 bigcowHOME_2.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 821 May 28 03:25 bigcowLOCAL_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 821 Jun 2 03:20 bigcowLOCAL_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 52 May 27 03:03 bigcowOPT_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 52 Jun 2 03:03 bigcowOPT_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 6507 Jun 2 03:12 bigcowROOT-HOME_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 6507 Jun 1 03:11 bigcowROOT-HOME_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 149413 May 29 03:53 bigcowROOT-MISC_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 149413 Jun 2 03:41 bigcowROOT-MISC_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 1615513 Jun 1 05:42 bigcowUSR_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 1615513 Jun 2 05:42 bigcowUSR_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 37205 May 28 04:42 bigcowVAR_0.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 37205 Jun 1 04:38 bigcowVAR_1.new -rw------- 1 amandabackup disk 37205 Jun 2 04:37 bigcowVAR_2.new And the mod dates reflect when those levels were last backed up. Could the lack of any files without the ".new" be a reason why my incrementals are actually full dumps? -- Jon H.
