Re: [flexbackup-help] FW: FLEXBACKUP ON UBUNTU 16.04 NOT WORKING

This appears to be related to a new tar release. There's a provisional patch being discussed on the Gentoo Forums here.

Subject: [flexbackup-help] FW: FLEXBACKUP ON UBUNTU 16.04 NOT WORKING

Dear FlexBackup

 

I have been using FlexBackup successfully for the past 8 years on Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04 and 14.04 TLS.

 

I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 TLS and noticed a strange phenomena.

 

When I extract the zipped file, duplicate files are reported in the destination folder.

 

I have attached the following files included in the WinRAR zipped file

 

1.       Flexbackup.conf

2.       The original /test folder I backed up

3.       The backup file: test.0.201611241425.tar.gz

4.       A screen capture of the terminal window of the backup process (text file): TEST FLEXBAKUP SCREEN REPORT

5.       The extracted folder: test.0.201611241425

 

 

When I extracted the backup file I choose an option to rename duplicate files.

In the original folder, there is only one file (eg. Level 6). The file in the extracted folder level6(5) is therefore the 5^th copy of the file.

I noticed that as I drilled deeper into the directories, that the number of copies increases. Meening that in

level 2 there are now 3 copies of the file

level 3 there are now 4 copies of the file

level 4 there are now 5 copies of the file and so on.

 

After I noticed this problem, I did a fresh install of UBUNTU 16.04 TLS on a different machine and got the same results.

 

On UBUNTU 14.04 LTS it still works perfectly.

 

Would you kindly investigate this matter and let me know.

 

Kind regards
