Hi!

Here's a little bit more information:

LDAP is required because the user-/group-numbers are resolved to names
through it. But a manually started "gtar --create --file - --directory .
--one-file-system --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . | /bin/tar
-tf - 2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/^\.//'" doesn't reproduce this failure and
doesn't create an equivalent syslog entry like during backup.

Hope, somebody is able to help me!
Bye,
Simon
