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.

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. _______________________________________________ Dar-support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dar-support
