All I can say is that I've never had a problem with it, at least in the way Amanda is calling it. Amanda of course has control over giving it absolute or relative path names, and of using --one-file-system or passing it --exclude rules. Amanda with the GNU tar backend really does seem to Do The Right Thing, in my experience anyway. -- John ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
