This looks to me to be a temporary index file that has been removed after
tar started.
Yup.
Is this a problem? ...
Nope.
If it isn't a problem, is there a way to prevent it? ...
You should be able to give GNU tar an exclusion pattern. I **think**
the following would do it:
exclude ./local/etc/amanda/Gemini/index/*.tmp
I'd use something like (actually I think you gave me the hint on this
one a while ago!):
exclude ./local/etc/amanda/Gemini/index/*/*/*.tmp
^ ^
| |
| disk/device
hostname
but you're right, gnutar exclude lists are a pain in the butt!
but GNU tar exclusion patterns give me a headache and you should test
this thoroughly.
Should I not be backing up my indexes? ...
I certainly do (but I use dump and don't see the problem you do).
