Hi, Since a few weeks I'm running a script to backup my home-server. It's just a few tar-files I'm making on a removable hard-disk. Every week I run the same script with commands like star -cf tar-file.tar.gz directory I don't do any errorchecking though, like checking if all tar-commands end without errors. That's a next project. Last weekend I tried to recover that data to another external hard-disk, to see if the backup was restorable. It seemed to work fine except that I got a message, something like "ignoring trailing garbage". Am I to worry that my backup has problems ? Now I remember I actually used tar to restore. Maybe there is a difference ? Thanks for any information you can give. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
