this is a very interesting information. I have recently tried to compile
dar on Sourceforge's compile farm which owns a MacOS X 10.2 and another
in version 10.1 but compilation failed do to syntaxical error in system
C++ header files. By the way, is it dar version 2.1.5 you have
successfully compiled ?

I would advice you to make a test of the backup (dar -t), an a
restoration, then sampling a few restored files to compare them with the
original ones (this last test is a paranoid test, OK ;-) ).

Then, if you have the opportunity, can you take this archive (or another
smaller generated on MacOS) and try to restore it one one of the
following system: Linux, Solaris or windows, this is to be sure the
generated archive has a standard format (also a paranoid test, but I
must be sure). :-)

This is a very interesting information! :-) Thanks for feedback.
