incremental backups do not work when directory name contains digits

[Simon Birt]

For version 0.6-1

If backup mode is set to tarball-incremental, a full archive is always created for any directories with digits in the name. This is due to the method of extracting a date from the filename:

Step 1: use sed to replace the line with the match for [0-9]{8}
Step 2: remove any non-numeric characters from the string

If the filename contains no date but does contain other digits, then the date used will be the concatenation of those digits.

This means that incremental-list files containing digits in the name always end up being removed, causing a full backup.

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.
