Hi,
I'm encountering strange issues with some of the backups using tar on linux
where a host is regularly failing with
tarExtract: moveFileToOld(....): can't rename (...)
For this host backup 12 does not exists however moveFileToOld is attempting to
move files to backup#12.
Backup# Type Filled Level Start Date Duration/mins

As a workaround I've added '-e $pathOld' to the rename if statement and all
seem to work without any errors. Is this a known issue where an attempt is made
to move file to a backup # that does not exist?
backuppc@hpci-backup:/usr/local/BackupPC/bin$ diff

< if ( -e $pathOld && !rename($pathNew, $pathOld) ) {
---
> if ( !rename($pathNew, $pathOld) ) {
> #if ( -e $pathOld && !rename($pathNew, $pathOld) ) {
Thanks,
Tarak
