Dear Denis and all,
  today I find this output every time my scheduled differential backup
runs, after I took a Normal backup this morning (as I usually do the
first days of each month):

************************************************************************************************
No terminal found for user interaction. All questions will be assumed a negative answer (less destructive choice), which most of the time will abort the program.
Arguments read from /etc/darrc :

No user target found on command line
Opening archive CAT_root ...
Opening the archive using the multi-slice abstraction layer...
Reading the archive trailer...
Final memory cleanup...

I am not sure whether the version I used to take the normal backup is the same or not. If it's useful I can find it out.
Is it really a bug, can I do anything to help or am I missing something?

Many thanks,
bye
Andrea
