If memory serves, the crux of the issue was that smbclient (well, samba in general) changed the way verbose output was handled. The tar errors (unexpected end of file) resulted from a samba not reporting the same number of files (specifically, reporting 0 files backed up as verbose output was broken) backed up versus the actual number of files moved.
There is a workaround to get samba going again, but I can't seem to recreate the search terms I used to find the fix. (Apologies if I'm confusing a separate issue with the one OP brought up.) ~Phil On Fri, Jul 2, 2021, 6:37 PM Tim Evans <tkev...@tkevans.com> wrote: > On 7/2/21 6:12 PM, backu...@kosowsky.org wrote: > > Tim Evans wrote at about 16:35:27 -0400 on Friday, July 2, 2021: > > > On 7/2/21 2:15 PM, Ademir Rodrigues wrote: > > > > Hello i'm new user here. > > > > > > > > I am with problem in my installation, some hosts appear with error > > > > "tarExtract: Unexpected end of tar archive" > > > > > > > > Exist some log that i can the backup in live view, to help me the > better > > > > identify what is causing the error? > > > > > > Review of the archives for this list will show you SMB backups with > > > BackupPC are highly unreliable.
