Re: Multi-Gb dumps using tar + software compression (gzip)?

Hi Toralf,
I'v had nearly the same problem this week.
I found out that this was a problem of my tar.
I backed up with GNUTAR and "compress server fast".
AMRESTORE restored the file but TAR (on the server!) gave some horrible
messages like yours.
I transferred the file to the original machine ("client") and all worked
fine.
I guess this is a problem of different tar versions ...
Do you made your tests on the client or on the server??
If the answer is "server" then transfer the restored archive to your
client and untar there!!

Since I'm still having problems gunzip'ing my large dumps - see separate
thread, I was just wondering:
Some of you people out there are doing the same kind of thing, right? I
mean, have
1. Dumps of directories containing several Gbs of data (up to roughly
20Gb compressed in my case.)
2. Use dumptype GNUTAR.
3. Compress data using "compress client fast" or "compress server fast".
If you do, what exactly are your amanda.conf settings? And can you
actually extract *all* files from the dumps?
