Dear Joerg:
Thank's for the quick response. In the meantime I have tried
star which I had not used before. Wonderful programm but its
decision on which files will be included into an incremental
backup seems to be based on the same algorithm that gtar is
using - i.e. mtime-/ctime > date of last ba

Well, you'd violate POSIX, and there are (admittedly unusual) cases
where incremental dumps would silently lose data. B
