Hi 

   I'm resending this email in hope that someone will be able to help me
with it. A couple more details about it: the server is amanda backup 2.4.3
running on FreeBSD 4.5. The unix on which smbclient runs is Solaris 8
for intel with amanda 2.4.3 and samba 2.2.6a. The client is a windows 2000
professional. The tar version (though not relavent for this) is tar 1.13.19
taken from the sunfreeware's packages. 

   I hope I'm giving enough details.

Subject: strange entries in the index file



Hi 

  Earlier today I sent out an email asking what amanda found 
strange in 2 windows backups I ran over the weekend. To make 
sure that the backup didn't miss anything vital I sent the 
index to the owner of the computer asking him to scan it and 
see if there is anything missing. There was nothing missing, 
but the following extra lines did appear:

   These extra lines belong to the begining of the files indicated directly
above them. 
Did anyone ever encounter such a behavior when backing up windows clients?
Does anyone 
know why this happened? Is it a problem or can it be ignored safely? I would
have 
gone and looked in the archives but I don't even know what to look for :(
