Greetings,

since quite some time I'm regulatly running incremental backups using

   tar -c --listed-incremental="..." ...

As far as I can tell,  the decission of whether or not  a file should be
included in the current backup is based  on its "ctime" value.   Without
wanting to start a discussion about the benefits of using "ctime" rather
than "mtime",  I would just like to know whether it's possible at all to
instruct "tar" to use "mtime" for incremental backups.

Any pointers welcome ... :-)

Sincerely,
  Rainer
