You are right, I missed that one. After inserting the path, the new error message is

No terminal found for user interaction. All questions will be assumed a 
negative answer (less destructive choice), which most of the time will abort 
the program.
Parse error on command line (or included files): Cannot add an absolute path

We encountered our problem when we tried to upgrade from lenny, I wanted to make sure that we have a full backup prior to the upgrade. In other words, I am aware that lenny is not supported any longer, and we are (almost) ready to upgrade.

Thanks,
Peter

Other than the regular upgrades, and a change of IP address, nothing
has been done with the computer, and we have used dar for several years.
I believe the -R option required a parameter, and you haven't supplied
it a parameter. The man page says "-R, --fs-root<path>"

The current version says for the current command line "Parse error:
Missing -c -x -d -t -l -C -+ option, see `dar -h' for help" because it
takes -c to be the parameter for -R.

Also note that the Lenny version of Debian is no longer supported, and
as such there haven't been any updates to the version of dar in years.
