Wiki: Page-Improvement (Sendbackup_error) #229

I have a suggestion.

On the page

 [Wiki:Sendbackup_error](https://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Sendbackup_error:_no_backup_size_line)

there could be added that there is a solution to a similar error:

Error in the client-log:

sendbackup: 119: strange(?): runtar: error [runtar invalid option: -]
sendbackup: critical (fatal): error [no backup size line]

This error occurs with amanda 3.5.1 and is solved in a newer version.

Solution (for openSUSE-15.4-Clients):

use of Archieving-Repository:

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Archiving/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/ Archiving

Update to at least amanda 3.5.3

zypper update --allow-vendor-change amanda

This information could saved me some time although I ran in the problem some time ago on other openSUSE-clients... There is a particular update that breaks amanda from backup these clients...

I was not able to send an email to wiki-admin@zmanda.com --- is this address still in use?

Sincerly, Alexander Roskamp
