Re: Possible bug with -af date switch?

Hi again everyone,

I think it was my mistake - I assumed that you would combine the -af option to specify a cutoff date and the -A option to specify a previous archive to use.

I am guessing that this is not possible and that if you go with the date that you can only use the date. Which is probably okay as I'll only use the -af option to generate the baseline backup.

Cheers,

Dan.

Subject: [Dar-support] Possible bug with -af date switch?

Hi everyone,

I was thinking to log a bug but thought I should check here first -

I am attempting to run the command:

Dar -c diff-2 -af 2005/11/19-19:38:48 -A diff-1 -R file-location

Returns the error:
Parse error: Error while parsing -A argument as a date: Incorrect day of month.

The date is lifted straight from the man pages, I also tried some other dates and formats (substituted in place of the date above):

*         '2005/11/19-19:38:48'

*         2/2-14:59

*         1580602498

Always returns the same:

Parse error: Error while parsing -A argument as a date: Incorrect day of month.

Is this a bug and should I log it, or am I misunderstanding the man pages?

Thanks a bunch...

Dan.
