Hi, I want to do a differential backup based on a given catalogue file. I think it should work, but test shows otherwise [1]: I.e., I see that a file is already backed up, and show up in the catalogue file, but dar still wants to back it up, even everything seems to be the same. What's happening? How can I do further investigation? Thanks [1] $ dar -l da-name_2009-12-11-cat | head -15 [data ][ EA ][compr] | permission | user | group | size | date | filename ----------------------+------------+-------+-------+-------+-------------------------------+------------ [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x 9999 tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 db [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 db/dict [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 dev [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 fun [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 fun/games [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 inet [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 inet/lan [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:47:17 2008 inet/web [InRef] [-----] -rwxrwxr-x tong tong 8510 Fri Jan 4 13:47:05 2008 inet/web/larve.2006.add-to-social-bookmarking-services.htm [InRef] [-----] -rwxrwxr-x tong tong 12385 Fri Jan 4 00:00:00 2008 inet/web/sb.zip [InRef] [-----] -rwxrwxr-x tong tong 199 Fri Jan 4 13:47:17 2008 inet/web/11getlog.lst [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 inet/agent [InRef] [-----] drwxrwxr-x tong tong 0 Fri Jan 4 13:46:39 2008 inet/email $ dar -e -v -R . -c /path/to/da-name_2010-09-05-diff -A da-name_2009-12-11-cat -s 10M Extracting contents of the archive...
