We're trying to use tar to get incremental backups, i.e. files modified in the last 24 hours. The problem is that when we use the -N option, tar insists on reporting each file that has *not* been changed. This seems a bit bizzare, I don't care about the 30,000 files that haven't changed, I'd like to hear about the 100 that have and that it added to the tarfile. If I can't have that, i'd be happy if it would just shut up. Anyone know how? Yes, I could send it all to /dev/null, but I'm afraid I'd also flush any real error messages. Cliff
