That is more interesting (because this is where the '+' might be missing). To put it more general: if you want to avoid this debugging ping-pong, provide some relevant information (like your configuration settings and log file extracts, for example). Even if we *can* sometimes give terse answers to terse questions, you probably wouldn't be asking the questions if this type of answer were of any help to you (the documentation would explain everything sufficiently in this case (not meaning to imply that it's terse)). In particular, describe your problem, not your analysis of it. We want to concentrate on fixing problems, not analyses. > Maybe the space in the date string is > getting parsed as a separator by the extra shell layer. That is what I was thinking. It would, however, most probably lead to tar complaining about a non-existant file and redundant backups of only a small part of the files. I'm still in favour of clock skew. Or maybe a TarIncrArgs without a --newer ;-). Regards, Holger |
