I had my backups in the file 'backup.tar' earlier in 2004, using the command :
tar -cf backup.tar `ls -A`
I needed to backup again, so (in 2005) I used the comand :
tar -uf backup.tar `ls -A`
But now when I try to extract from the file, using -
tar -xf backup.tar
I get the error :
tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
The archive manages to extract the files modified/created only in 2005. I dont remember getting any error messages while creating the tar file.
Any pointers ?
