Re: no incremental backups when using gnu tar

[amanda@sa01 amanda]$ amadmin DailySet1 disklist localhost /etc/mrtg
line 7:
    host localhost:
        interface default
    disk /etc/mrtg:
        program "GNUTAR"
        priority 2
        dumpcycle 0
        maxdumps 1
        strategy NOINC
        compress NONE
        auth BSD
        kencrypt NO
        holdingdisk YES
        record YES
        index YES
        skip-incr NO
        skip-full NO

The skip-incr is set to NO -- should this be changed to YES???
