There is one MAJOR flaw with tar. If there is an error anywhere in the
archive, ALL files after the error are lost. Better to use afio instead of
tar. At most you will loose only the file where the error is.
Use the option: --ignore-failed-read.
This will not work if the tape is created
I am using tar for backups, and I want to use the incremental option of
tar. There are two ways to do this. The first is the -G option together
with -N TIME, which will tar only those files that have changed since TIME.
The other is the -g SNAPSHOT-FILE option that will use SNAPSHOT-FILE to see
and don't forget user id mapping may confilct, too.
you will have to make
shure about same uid on both machines or on appropriate uid-mapping, see
manpage (mount, nfs ...)
