Hi all,


Apologies if this is an obvious question!  I'm not overly Linux savvy, so 
please bear with me.



I noticed that BackupPC runs the following for its SMB based backups:



$smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName<file:///\\$host\$shareName> $I_option -U 
$userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc$X_option - $fileList



However, the samba page 
(https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/smbclient.1.html) says the 
following about the -T (tar) flag option, c:



"c - Create a tar file on UNIX. Must be followed by the name of a tar file, 
tape device or "-" for standard output. If using standard output you must turn 
the log level to its lowest value -d0 to avoid corrupting your tar file. This 
flag is mutually exclusive with the x flag."



Is it a problem for the tar that BackupPC is using level 1 logging?



Thanks in advance!

Phil.
