Hallo, I use BackupPC to archive komplete VMware-Snapshots. Everything works fine on Suse Linux.
I also use the xfer archive method to generate tar files for long term backups on blueray disks. When I try to open these tar files on windows (e.g. with 7zip and ohter tools) , I get errors (broken archive). If I extract the BackupPC tar file on linux and recreate the archive with the same files with tar -cvf then I can extract this new tar file on windows. The problem exists only for larger files (perhaps above 4 GB). Smaller files can be opened with 7zip. In the code I have seen, that BackupPC uses it's own perl functions to create the tar files. Has somebody an idea converning the reason for this incompatibility to windows?
