Backup Central

I am backing up some Solaris servers and I need to
exclude some directories. This works fine on all
my linux boxes but apparently my Solaris servers do
not have gtar. The notes in the config file says:
"GNU tar version >= 1.3.7 is required for the
exclude option"

But, I can't seem to locate this package for Solaris
or even the source code. All I see is GNU tar 1.13.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Brad

Umm.. isn't that a typo? Pretty sure you need 1.13.7 or newer.

RTFM:

o If you are using tar to backup linux/unix machines you should have
version 1.13.7 at a minimum, with version 1.13.20 or higher recom-
mended. Use "tar --version" to check your version. Various GNU
mirrors have the newest versions of tar, see for example
http://www.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/tar. As of July 2002 the
latest versons is 1.13.25.

I'll fix the typo in the config file: 1.3.7 -> 1.13.7.
