Cannot restore old backups - File truncated

[ToomasAas]

I have a problem restoring some old backups (using TDP for Domino, obviously) that were done in December 2010. Whichever NSF database I try to restore, it fails with this client side message:

File truncated - file may have been damaged
ACD5702E A Domino API error has occurred.

On server side, the message is:

06/13/2014 11:23:09      ANR8213E Socket 7 aborted due to send error; error 104.                           (SESSION: 37474) 
06/13/2014 11:23:09      ANR0514I Session 37474 closed volume EID622L4. (SESSION:                           37474)

06/13/2014 11:23:09      ANR8213E Socket 7 aborted due to send error; error 32.                           (SESSION: 37474)

The result of 'query dbbackup' also looks strange:

Note the last line, corresponding to the backup from which I cannot restore. The database size is clearly wrong and title is missing. This leads me to believe that this is not a media defect, but something else. A corruption of TSM database? Some kind of incompatibility between versions of Domino or TSM that was in use back then and today?

My records indicate that I performed a successful restore of this backup in November 2011.
Today I can successfully restore a backup made on 12/29/2011 (third one from bottom in the query output above). Haven't yet tried 07/01/2011, but I suspect this will also succeed.

At the time the backup was taken I was running:
TSM server 6.2.1
Domino server 8.0.2 FP6 (32bit)
TSM/TDP client on the Domino server: 6.2.1/5.5.2

Today:
TSM server 6.2.5
Domino server 9.0.1 FP1 64bit
TSM/TDP client on the Domino server: 7.1.0

Both client and server are Linux.

Hi,

I have run in such problem (32 vs 64bit TDP) - the solution was to keep 32bit TDP around ....
My environment was on Solaris - I have found this Technote regarding Windows - maybe the root of the problem is the same
