Well, I seem to have hacked around it... * Added -R (for star) * Added -z (because I figured it couldn't hurt, and likely should have been on) * Added /var/log/lastlog to the exclusion list (it was the only file over 3 gig in size on the entire file system, and it's a sparse file I don't mind "losing" if I restore from backup) * Changed to -s 20000m (I'm *guessing* the 'g' for gig doesn't actually work correctly.) The backup now fits in a single ISO image, *and* runs without errors or warnings. A side note, the ISO images are rsync'd to an SMB share after encryption, and copied to an offsite drive. I never intend them to be burnt to physical media. For restore I'd mount as a drive in a virtual machine, or copy to a USB stick. I could/should have considered upgrading to a newer version as the first step possibly.
