Hello,
version of gtar I'm currently using is 1.13. My problem is following:
I have two directories
$HOME/sct/backup/logs_FSS
$HOME/sct/backup/tmpdir
Now:
$> set DAT = `date`; echo $DAT
Thu Jul 19 07:28:03 MEST 2001
$> cd $HOME/sct/backup
$> ls -l tmpdir
............ 30 Jul 19 07:26 date.out
............ 69 Jul 19 07:27 date.out
............ 86 Jul 19 07:28 date.out
$> gtar -c -v -G -N "$DAT" -f /tmp/incr.tar .
./
./who.out ---- this is OK
$> cd ../logs_FSS
$> gtar -c -v -G -N "$DAT" -f /tmp/incr.tar .
./ ---- this is OK
This is still ok, because logs_FSS contains files older than $DAT.
The problem is here:
$> cd $HOME/sct/backup
$> gtar -c -v -G -N "$DAT" -f /tmp/incr.tar .
gtar: Directory ./tmpdir is new ???????
directory is older than $DAT
gtar: Directory ./logs_FSS is new ???????
directory is older than $DAT
./tmpdir/
./logs_FSS/backup_1.tgz ???????
file is older than $DAT
./logs_FSS/backup_2.tgz ???????
file is older than $DAT
.
.
.
and so on
Some files are older than $DAT and they are still in archive. What's
meaning of parameter -N "$DAT"?????
I have specified -N "$DAT" and I want only files newer than $DAT appearing
in archive.
Can you help me with this problem?
best regards
Mirek Sevelda
