Hello,
I'm dumping 2 windows partitions via gnutar on an amanda 2.4.3 system.
Curiously even a level 1 dump has same size as a full dump.
Is this a 'normal' , due to some 'shit' in those W98SE partitions?
Dumping reiserfs-partitions via gnutar work perfectly and as expected.
Any hints how to backup a linux box, with two W98-Partitions the right
way?
My understanding is that the FAT/FAT32 file systems don't track the
information that allows tar to determine if the file has been altered
since the last backup. Hence, as far as tar is concerned, every file
has been changed. So it does a complete backup.
You might be able to fix this by changing the filesystem to NTFS, but
in that case, you can't run Win98...
HTH,
Ricky
