Hello, I've experienced troubles using the --include-from-file parameter. The man page says entries have to be separated by a newline. However it does not state anything about the presence of a newline at the end of the file. Therefore my expectation is, that it does not matter if it is there or not. Actually the behaviour is different on Ubuntu/Linux comparing to Windows. Whereas in Ubuntu it really doesn't matter, in Windows the last file entry before a newline is silently ignored. I suggest to add to the man page that there must not be a new line at the end of the file. DAR-version is 2.6.10 in both environments. Windows 10 Pro Version 1903. With best regards, Stefan
