Hello,
 I am new to Amanda .... and tape drives for that matter. I have set up
a Amanda server and for now have it just backing up itself. All works 
well for the backup part. However when I try to restore I get this
message..

tar: ./2005-01-07_17-00-57/ibdata01.ibz: implausibly old time stamp
1969-12-31 17:00:00

The file still recovers ok. Why is this happening? Here is the output
of stat of the original file that was backed up

root@database 2005-01-07_17-00-57--> stat ibdata01.ibz
  File: `ibdata01.ibz'
