Package: tar
Version: 1.15.91-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I have used some simple scripts to make incremental backups with tar for
many years. I have attempted to restore a couple of backup series
recently and found that tar has deleted many directories in the backup.
I repeated the restore process using tar from sarge and the scripts
worked as expected.
The backup scripts do:
/bin/tar -z -cpf root0.tgz --one-file-system --numeric-owner -g
./root0.snapshot
The restore scripts cycle through the incremental tarballs with:
tar -xpvzf - --numeric-owner --overwrite -g ./root9.snapshot -C /newroot
