Ah, I understand. BackupPC_tarCreate doesn't create a tar file from  
the original files, but from the backup files.
I tried this:

        BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n -1 -s /Users -t / > /tmp/Users.tar

And it worked! Thanks so much!
I don't understand why it now suddenly found "/Users", but what  
counts is, that it worked.


Thanks
Phil
