Hm..

=20

You may be right, but what I believe that is 539 648 Kb, is the amount
of kilobytes that had to be read until it found the file on the tape (or
disk).

If you watch a restore you will see the kilobytes increment rapidly in
the log and activity monitor as it parses through the tape looking for
the file.

Have you tried restoring a different file that is > 0 bytes? IE:
/var/log/messages or such?

Hi

=20

Thanks for the suggestion, but as you can see from bptm log, the file
size on tape (and image data) is actually 539 648 Kb.

=20

bptm log:
mpx_read_backup: successfully restored 1 of 1 requests, read total of
539648 Kbytes at 34969.414 Kbytes/sec

bptm read all the data but nothing reached the client!

=20

Regards

        When restoring did you check the file size in the Restore tool?

1 files
        09/07/05 1:19:51 PM: [3284]: TAR - restore:          file data:
0 bytes

        =20

        It appears it was 0 bytes when it was backed up, thus when you
restore, it will be empty.

        We have an 'interesting' situation at a customer - the restore
is reported as being successful, but the file size on the client is 0.

        , Linux Master/Media server.

        Restore to another client has the same result.
