For the record:
plain gtar 1.12 needs to be patched to handle large files (> 2GB).
plain gtar 1.13 makes bad index-lists which amrecover cannot handle,

in an incompatible way.

In production environment I use only 1.13.19 or 1.13.25 currently.

There is also a tar 1.15 release out now; can anyone comment on its compatibility with AMANDA? I'm asking mainly because 1.13.25 is getting rather old.

There is an 1.15.1 and I have recently installed it but I have done very limited testing of it together with amanda. Will be doing some more test restores soon.
