Hi I got a strange problem doing incrementals with tar over ssh using --newer=$incrDate+. It seems an "escape problem" of part of the time reference for the incremental. The date part of --newer is parsed correctly but the hour part of --newer.. doesn't and is changed in 00:00:00 and tar interprets 11:34:33 as a filename that doesn't exist.
extract from logfile Running: /usr/bin/ssh -c blowfish -C -q -x -n -l backup $host $tarPath -c -v -v -f - -C /root --totals --newer=2009-01-07 11:34:33 . incr backup started back to 2009-01-07 11:34:33 (backup #0) for directory /root Xfer PIDs are now 25928,25927 /bin/tar: Treating date `2009-01-07' as 2009-01-07 00:00:00 + 0 nanoseconds /bin/tar: 11\:34\:33: Cannot stat: No such file or directory The problem disappears if I use mtime and not incrDate+ (or rsync) in the incremental options of tar. What I'm wrong? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
