Hello,

>From time to time, we run "yum update" (On centos) or up2date (On
redHat) to keep our servers patched.

Reading the amanda docs, I realize that there could be problem with
gnu tar if we back up with one version and restore with another...

I know it's not really an amanda question but this may be something
one of you Linux admins might have encountered.

Is there a way to prevent "up2date" or "yum update" to update certain
packages ? Like gnu tar ?

Thanks
