ReaR: backup using tar always succeeds, even in case of tar error
Issue
-
When backing up using the NETFS and tar option, backup errors are not detected, ReaR continues and displays the following message
WARNING: tar ended with return code 1 and below output: ---snip--- ---------- This means that files have been modified during the archiving process. As a result the backup may not be completely consistent or may not be a perfect copy of the system. Relax-and-Recover will continue, however it is highly advisable to verify the backup in order to be sure to safely recover this system.
