I am running BackupPC 3.2.1 on
Linux 3.5.2-1.fc17.i686.PAE #1 SMP i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I run

BackupPC_zipCreate -h host -n -1 -s / /  > archive.zip

and get the following (harmless?) errors

IO error: Unsupported date before 1980 encountered, moving to 1980 : No 
such file or directory
  at /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate line 173
IO error: Unsupported date before 1980 encountered, moving to 1980 :
  at /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate line 173
IO error: Unsupported date before 1980 encountered, moving to 1980 :
  at /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate line 173
IO error: Unsupported date before 1980 encountered, moving to 1980 :
  at /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zipCreate line 173

The line 173 is

     $view->find($Num, $ShareName, $dir, 0, \&ZipWriteFile,
                 $zipfh, $zipPathOverride);

but to understand this requires analyzing the view object, previously 
created with:

  my $view = BackupPC::View->new($bpc, $Host, \@Backups);

Does anyone know whether this error is harmless?
Have you had good experience with BackupPC_zipCreate?

Thanks.

PS When using BackupPC_tarCreate, I got rid of the warnings about 
deprecated use of qw,
by replacing

qw(----)  by  (qw(----))

at the two locations mentioned in the warning messages.
