I get this message when trying to do a backup to pc card for cm and messaging. Any ideas. placed new pc card and formatted. Backup now seems to work ok.

The final status for your backup job is shown below.


Option tar_size requires an argument
backup: 1: Invalid option specified






 
I think in the messaging backups it says "break it up into archives of X megabytes" and the error the webpage is giving you is obviously that the backup command being run needs to specify the size of the smaller files it will break the backup down to.

Are you sure there's no field you missed where you could specify "50 megs" or something?
