I guess that those "dar options" are used for all invocations of
dar_manager with the specific database. How did it get there? I don't
have it in my other databases (it's empty there). Looks like I
accidentially saved those options in the database.

I've been able to remove those options with "dar_manager -B
/mnt/sk1/Sicherung/Kataloge/D2020-07-16-03-04-34 -o". 

So "-o" (and "--extra") saves the specified options in the database
file. That's not what I want. I want to specify the options for only
one call of dar_manager.

I haven't touched those two.

It's the version in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I'll upgrade when 20.04.1 LTS is
out. I could also compile if from the sources, if necessary.
