The current distributed version of tar (1.25) has bugs in it which prevent it working
correctly for backups. This is NOT a cygwin only defect. The defect is upstream and
resolved in version 1.26.
Refer to bug:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar@gnu.org/msg02999.html
For use with amanda backup:

This is addressed in version 1.26.
Would it be possible to get an updated version sometime soon?
Thanks in advance.
Mark.
