Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2817362 By: uvman tar is not the best way to backup a ntfs filesystem. it drops some data (such as permissions, dos attributes etc.) I can think on 2 reasons why a directory may be missing from the tarball: 1) a misconfigured system where the directory name is not in english (or a similar codepage) and tar or the enviroment can not enter that directory. (not likely). Check that your LC* enviroment variables are configured for some UTF-8 encoding and that the BACKUP directory is mounted with the "nls=utf-8" switch. 2) the directory contents are encrypted and so the ntfs driver can not view the files. This results usually in an existing directory, but missing files. Check that you can manually chdir into that directory to make sure if the problem is in the driver/enviroment or in tar. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
