Forum OpenACS Q&A: GNU tar 1.15.1 and OpenACS backup script

If you are using the OpenACS backup script and are unlucky to have GNU Tar 1.15.1 installed (e.g on Ubuntu) then you will get a lot of " file is unchanged; not dumped" messages. This is a bug in GNU Tar 1.15.1 which has been resolved in later versions, as this message should only show up in verbose mode.
