Hi,
I'm using GNU tar version 1.20 for executing incremental backups and I'm a
little bit confused with the
following use case so that any help will be very appreciated.
I have the following hierarchy:
dir_1
dir_1_1
file_1_1.txt
First, I perform a backup:
tar -cpvzf tarfile -g snapshot_1
then I change the name of directory "dir_1" to "dir_1_new", and I perform a
new incremental backup.
The problem appears when restoring. The first backup is restored ok, but
when restoring the second, tar cannot rename the directory "dir_1" because
it's not empty.
Is this the expected behaviour? And if so, is there any way to "force" tar
to rename not empty directories?
Thanks in advance!
Enric Hernández
