I'm using v 2.5.1p with tar. The backup reports say

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  server.slsware.dmz  /var  lev 2  FAILED [/bin/tar returned 1]
  server.slsware.dmz  /var  lev 2  FAILED [/bin/tar returned 1]

and there's a N/A in the list. Every other dle is fine. This has
happened 2 or 3 times in a row now.

Logged into s.s.d as root, tar entars and untars /var with no problems.

Can anyone please tell me what's going on?
