Hello, I want to backup certain parts of my system regularly, so I made a directory which reflects the filesystem: backup/ etc/ -> link to /etc usr/ home/ me/ somefile -> link to some specific file in my home directory public_html/ various_links_to/ -> directories_which/ -> really_exist_in_my/ -> public_html/ -> Basically it's a collection of symlinks to stuff I want backed up. Then I run tar -cLvy -f /usr/home/me/backup/backup.tar.bz2 /usr/home/me/backup/source/ When source/usr/home/me/public_html is empty then it runs fine. But when I put any links in, tar dies with a segmentation fault. Has anyone got any ideas why? Thanks, Ben
