That’s IT, I think. The external drive is formatted in FAT, and not exFAT. If
both .tar.gz files were over 4gb, I (over) cooked my own goose. Talk about
noobie errors.
Thanks, Luigi.

Someone else commented about file size limitations and this is far more
of a problem with MS type files systems.
Check what type it is and if not one of the Linux/unix style ones
change and start again.
You may find that works better.
But remember non MS file system may/may not be readable by MS ba

Hi,
you are in favour of Evolution, just because it offers this option?
Claws probably doesn't provide this feature for good reasons.

Hi,
when using tar by command line it's necessary to do it, not only to
check that the archive is not corrupt, but also to rule out user errors,
such as path typos or not having thought of globbin

Well, that said a mouthful. I agree the “restore” function should be called
“replace” or the like, and a simple warning (I.e. “Do not rely on
backup/restore for routine preservation of your emails.”) would hav

Hi,
_yes_, announce that you will remove it and unless no user should veto,
remove it.

The only reliable mechanism to verify a tar archive is valid is to
table it. :(
Table-After-Creation is a good rule.

Potentially, there are a lot of variables. Depending on the filesystem
of the USB drive the file could be limited to ~2GB or ~4GB.

I agree entirely with you. I think the "backup/restore" is generally
abused rather than used - in
I often get this error when I empty Deleted Items:
Failed to expunge folder “Infinera : Deleted Items”.
The reported error was “cannot VACUUM from within a transaction”.
Seems like the operation is successful though, Deleted Items is empty

Hi,
yesno. It depends on the file system and the size of the archive, so
indeed, yes, the file can become too large to fit. When generating the
archive and the size or any other issue should be the cau
