Hi all,

I´m having a problem when I try to restore a backup of the /etc directory when 
using amrecover.
bellow are the last lines before the backup hangs:

./iscan/license
./iscan/log
./iscan/log.2003.05.29
./iscan/log.2003.05.31
./iscan/log.2003.06.01
./iscan/log.2003.06.02
./iscan/lpt$vpn.524
./iscan/lpt$vpn.530
./iscan/lpt$vpn.551
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 2
Continue? [Y/n]: Y
amrecover>

What´s happening here? As you see, the restoring process begins successfully 
but stops in the middle.
The last 3 files restored are log files of 6M approximately. see bellow a "ls 
-lh lpt*":

-r--------    1 root     root         6.4M May  4 01:00 lpt$vpn.524
-r--------    1 root     root         6.4M May 11 01:00 lpt$vpn.530
-r--------    1 root     root         6.5M Jun  1 01:00 lpt$vpn.551

Any help would be appreciated.
Bruno Negrao.
