[Bug-tar] tar command : Something strange is happening

[Emilio García]

Dear,

I am writing to you because I have updated the rc in order to make a backup when the system starts up. The problem is when I log into my Debian 9 and tar command is running, I check the file which it is backing up and I see the following:

Two files are created. Could you tell me if there is something that I am not taking into account?

 

 sudo nano /etc/init.d/backup

 

The command what I am using is:

 

sudo -u emiliogq nohup tar -zcf /home/emiliogq/backups/$filename /home/emiliogq/workspace/S-C-FW/  &

 

Thanks in advance,

Emilio Garcia.
