Well, I guess a little shell transcript shows what I mean. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls test CACHEDIR.TAG foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat test/CACHEDIR.TAG Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar -cvf test.tar --exclude-caches test test/ tar: test/: contains a cache directory tag; not dumped [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar -cvf test.tar --exclude-caches \ --listed-incremental test.snar test test/ test/CACHEDIR.TAG test/foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Is this a bug or some feature that I can't find in the docs? Apart from that I'm with the crowd that thinks that the CACHEDIR.TAG file itself should be restored when a backup tarball is extracted. Thanks, --Dan
