tar incremental backups

[Shaheen Tonse]

Hi I use tar to do my incremental backups, with a command like:
tar --gzip -cvf mybackup.tar.gz --listed-incremental .arj_incr.gnu
/home/tonse

As a criterion for whether a file should be backed up or not, tar seems
to use
the last time it was accessed (as seen with ls -ltu) rather than the
modification time
(seen with ls -lt). This results in my unnecessraily backing up large
numbers of
files. Is there some way to change this? I feel it is better to use
modification time
anyway.
