Hi Denis, Thanks again for all the work on dar! I have a bug report for you. Following the recipe in the FAQ, I tried to use: dar -v -+ archive2 -A archive -zzstd:12 Which crashed with: Aborting program. An error occurred while calling libdar: Compression_level must be between 1 and 9 included -zzstd:12 works fine in conjunction with -c, as it should (zstd levels go above 9). This is with 2.7.17 but I haven't seen anything in the 2.8.1 changelog to indicate it's fixed there. Fixing it in the 2.8.x branch would be fine (I wouldn't see the need for a backported fix to 2.7) Incidentally, thanks for 2.8.1 and webdar! I have uploaded 2.8.1 to Debian unstable and will work on webdar shortly. Then I will get them both into trixie-backports as well. - John
