I have used the following tar command for several months using TAR 1.16... ## make level0 backup tar -cvPWf /media/1394disk/backuplvl0.tar --listed-incremental /var/log/snar /home/
## copy snar file cp /var/log/snar /var/log/snar-1 ## make level 1 backup...just changes since level 0 tar -cvPWf /media/1394disk/backuplvl1.tar --listed-incremental /var/log/snar-1 /home/ It all worked fine up until a few months ago i think, when I noticed that my incremental backups were the same size as my level 0 backups. Now, I have had chance to investigate and it appears that the W option to verify the archive is not working with incremental backups. If I remove W then all works fine. If W is included, then all incremental backups are same size as level0. Is this a known issue? If so, is it fixed in 1.16.1?
