Hi,

Can after I made backup with

star -c bs=8m fs=128m -fifostats -time f=/dev/st0 . &> LogBck.txt

I run diff with

 star -diff -v bs=8m -fifostats -time f=/dev/st0 &> LogDiff.txt

I get following:

backup/evident/Outlook/sanja/sanja.pst: source not sparse
backup/evident/Outlook/sanja/sanja.pst: different sparse
 114688 -rwxr--r--  sanja/EviRad Sep 25 18:57 2005 
backup/evident/Outlook/sanja/sanja.pst
 114688 -rwxr--r--  sanja/EviRad Sep 25 18:57 2005 
backup/evident/Outlook/sanja/sanja.pst
backup/evident/Outlook/zoran/OutlookExpress/MailAndNews/T-com-zalba.dbx: 
source not sparse
backup/evident/Outlook/zoran/OutlookExpress/MailAndNews/T-com-zalba.dbx: 
different sparse

What are sparse files and is this error or what?
