Re: [BackupPC-users] busybox tar problem?

gnu tar can be compiled for arm cpus. do you have a space issue that you cant use full gnu tar? I suggest you ditch busybox tar and move to gnu. this would be your simplest solution. unless you lack a machine with gcc and make to build it on but any linux machine with those tools should be able to cross-compile for arm.

Yes, most likely that is it. Does the script write the totals
output to stdout or stderr?

You can also modify the code to not expect the totals line.
