Hail,
   A tried and true (over a decade) incremental back up bash script
failed after an o/s upgrade (opensuse leap 15.3). It is an old distro
package; dar version 2.5.14.
The offending lines:
-va \
-K aes256:
-* 50000 \
-J aes256:

produced error:
Data corruption may have occurred, cannot decrypt data
./dar_I211214d: line 43: -*: command not found

The archive has tested OK with dar -t.
Something obvious? Time to upgrade dar?
