Hello,

I have had Amanda running for over a decade, yesterday I had no issue at
all but last night, my backups for Ubuntu machines started crashing
consistently with the error:
strange(?): runtar: error [runtar invalid option: -]

That even happens on a machine that is currently unused.

The sendbackup.debug:

Note that the sendsize is fine.

Thank for any idea on what I should look for.

Best regards,
