Hi Michael,

I am looking further into this, but have you tried the latest 6.1 client
level? I tested 6.1.0.0, and I get the same error you do (backing up to LTO
tape). I tried the restore with 6.1.5.0 and it was successful.

server: 7.1.4 on AIX
client: 6.1.0.0 on Windows 7 (backup and first restore test)
client: 6.1.5.0 on Windows 7 (restore of file backed up with 6.1.0.0 was
successful)

Regards,

Andy
