Actually, I'm starting to suspect that gzip itself is causing the
problem. Any known issues, there? The client in question does have a
fairly old version, 1.2.4,
That rings a bell somewhere. Hasn't there been once a report on this
list from someone whose zipped backups got corrupted at every (other)
GB mark? Something with chunks on the holding disk having a header
that didn't get stripped off when writing to tape?
That would of course explain a lot. I wasn't able to find anything on
this in the mailing list archives, though, and I haven't been able to
identify header data (except for the one at the start) within the dump
files, but of course, these are a bit difficult to work with, and I may
have looked in the wrong place or for the wrong thing.
Question: Do you know if I can get gzip to report where exactly the
mismatch is found?
Anybody remember which version had this problem, and whether that gave
the same symptoms?
